Inside the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to ancient treasures   

CAIRO: The Grand Egyptian Museum opened its doors to the public on Nov. 4, attracting around 18,000 visitors on its first day, underscoring widespread enthusiasm for Egypt’s newest cultural and archaeological landmark. Fittingly, the museum opened on an historic date. Nov. 4, 1922 was the day that a team led by British Egyptologist Howard Carter made one of the most significant finds in archaeological history: the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun — the only known near-intact royal burial site from ancient Eygpt, uncovered more than three millennia after its creation.
