Egypt held a parade on Saturday celebrating the transport of 22 of its royal mummies from the Egyptian Museum to their new resting place, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. The mummies, including Ramesses II and Hatshepsut, a famous female pharaoh, belong to the ancient New Kingdom, which ruled from the 17th Dynasty of Egypt to the 20th Dynasty between 1500 B.C. to 1100 B.C.
