\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nIn December 2020, the exhibition was approved by the Egyptian Cabinet and the decree was signed by Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. The news had been widely received by the Egyptian public, with Egyptian media proclaiming that the exhibition will showcase “the most prominent and unique historical Pharaonic holdings”.<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nThese 183 pieces of rare artefacts will be
\nfeatured in the inaugural exhibition titled Ramses
\nThe Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs <\/i>and the exhibition will open in Texas,
\nUnited States at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nRamses
\nII, also known as Ramses The Great, ruled for 66 years, which was the second
\nlongest reign in ancient Egyptian history. Because of his long rule, Ramses II
\nis thought to have amassed one of the largest and richest burial chambers and
\nis regarded as the most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, the most celebrated
\nperiod of ancient Egypt. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nThe
\nexhibition is expected to attract large crowds as evidenced by previous
\nshowcases of Egyptian treasures worldwide. In 1986, a touring exhibition on
\nRamses II sold a record of about 5 million tickets. As recent as in 2019, when Tutankhamun:
\nTreasures of the Golden Pharaoh<\/i> was exhibited in Paris, it broke the French
\nvisitor record with about 1.5 million visitors. Egyptian expert Gamal El-Din
\nMokhtar once said that the Ramses II exhibition had exceeded the experience
\nfrom the Tutankhamun exhibition by being “more exemplary archeologically,
\nhistorically and culturally than the treasures of Tutankhamun”. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nFast forward to 2021,
\n Ramses The Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs <\/i> would be even more exciting than the past
\nshowcases. The exhibition boasts the FIRST virtual walkthrough of Ramses II’s famous
\ntemples and will include a FIRST full-length documentary ever produced on
\nRamses II’s tomb for this tour. Details of the documentary will be released in
\ndue course. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nMr.
\nRon Tan, Executive Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer of Cityneon,
\nsaid: ” The priceless artefacts in our
\ncare, as well as being given exclusive access to Ramses’ tomb allow Cityneon to
\nstage an authentic and exhilarating recount of his life. This is the first time
\nafter 32 long years that people all over the world will have a chance to get up
\nclose to the life of the greatest pharaoh of all times. From the
\nrecord-breaking sales of about 5 million tickets from the Ramses II exhibition
\nin 1986 to the recently achieved visitorship for the King Tutankhamun
\nexhibition in Paris in 2019, we
\nare confident that Ramses The Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs <\/i> will be another
\nrecord-breaking feat .” <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n“Cityneon is
\nthankful to work with partners as established as the Houston Museum of Natural
\nScience and the World Heritage Exhibitions, and we are also honoured to have
\nthe support of the Egyptian government. I am very excited for the Cityneon team
\nto showcase these remarkable pieces of artefacts to the world,” Mr Tan
\ncontinued. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nMr.
\nJoel A. Bartsch, President and Chief Executive Officer at Houston Museum of
\nNatural Science, said they were honoured to be launching the exhibition with
\nCityneon and World Heritage Exhibitions and they believe the Groups’ extensive
\nexperience in exhibitions would lead to an engaging showcase. “All three teams
\nhave great track records and we are confident that the 183 pieces of Egyptian artefacts
\nwill captivate visitors from around the world. We look forward to hosting visitors
\nfrom Houston, the nation and beyond at this historical, educational and
\nimmersive exhibition,” said Bartsch. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nMr.
\nAnthony Tann, President of World Heritage Exhibitions, said: “We are extremely
\nhonoured to partner Cityneon for yet another artefacts exhibition. I am
\nconfident Cityneon will bring their incomparable expertise to the table and
\nbring alive the treasures of Ramses II to cities across the world, welcoming
\nthe many millions of visitors globally.” <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nCityneon
\nhas assembled an experienced team who would be able to handle these precious
\nhistorical treasures and launch the exhibition across the globe. The Group is
\nalso riding on its expertise in the curation of intellectual property experiences
\nto build up their capabilities in the artefact exhibitions arena. <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\nCityneon
\nnow has two global and major artefact-related intellectual property and has
\nplans to acquire more historical artefacts IPs, with one from Asia expected in
\n2021. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
