EGYPT-ARCHAEOLOGY-MUSEUM

A picture taken on May 23, 2017 shows the legs of the gilded bed of the ancient Egyptian boy-king Tutankhamun, featuring posts made of carved lion heads, upon arrival from the Egyptian Museum in the centre of the capital Cairo to the newly-constructed Grand Egyptian Museum on the city's outskirts near the Pyramids. - The Grand Egyptian Museum had been scheduled to open in 2015, but construction has lagged as expenses mounted to more than $1 billion. It is now scheduled to open partially in 2018, housing more than 100,000 relics including the 4,500 pieces of Tutankhamun's treasure discovered in 1922 in the southern Valley of the Kings in Luxor. The young pharaoh's mummy, however, will remain in his tomb as it is too fragile to transport. (Photo by Mohamed el-Shahed / AFP) (Photo by MOHAMED EL-SHAHED/AFP via Getty Images)
