Japanese project safeguards Egypt’s ancient treasures

Once completed the Grand Egyptian Museum near Cairo is set to open in 2020. The new building will house Egypt’s most priceless treasures, including the entire Tutankhamun collection.

During the filming of this episode Global Japan we watched on as a box containing a 4000 year-old mural painting was transferred to the new museum’s Conservation Center.

It was one of 72 ancient artifacts that are part of a project run by JICA, the Japan International Cooperation Agency.

It was vital the priceless painting was not damaged and Japanese transport specialists were on hand to oversee the delicate operation, which was completed successfully.
