Ancient Egyptian pharaohs were paraded through the country's capital city, Cairo, in a grand ceremony to mark the opening of a new museum: the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation, or NMEC.

The event centred around the mummies of 22 pharaohs.

King Ramesses II, who ruled Egypt for 67 years, was one of the stars of the show.

Each monarch's name labelled the vehicle they travelled in, which were specially designed to prevent any damage to the mummies.

The pharaohs were taken to their new home is the NMEC.

This is a huge, low-rise structure, with a pyramid shape on the roof.

Historians will spend the next 15 days inspecting and restoring the mummies.

The pharaohs will then go on public display in temperature controlled glass cases.

The museum has already proved popular with visitors.

Historian Asmaa Said is responsible for the exhibits.
