Grand Egyptian Museum receives Meneptah pillar

Pillar of Merneptah, son of Ramesses II, is being transported by Ministry of State for Antiquities to Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt on March 10, 2018. It weighs 17 tones and is 5,60meters tall. In 2008 it was trasported to the Salaheddin Citadel for conservation and restoration as the residential area around it was suffering of high levels of subterranean water. Now it is to be put on display in the atrium at the GEM main entrance gate next to the colossus of his father King Ramses II. (Photo by Fayed El-Geziry /NurPhoto)
