Grand Egyptian Museum receives Meneptah pillar

Members of the Grand Egyptian Museum Conservation Centre inspect the column of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh King Merenptah after being transported to its permanent display spot next to the colossus of his father, Pharaoh King Ramses II, at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, 10 March 2018. The column was discovered in 1970 inside a Meneptah temple at Matariya archaeological site, east to Arab Al-Hesn area. 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)
