DUBAI: Egypt’s temporary exhibition "Tutankhamun ... Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" will return to Egypt from London, marking the end of its third stop after Paris and Los Angeles, local daily Egypt Today reported.
The French media said the exhibition in Paris “broke records of turnout of the French cultural exhibitions,” the report said. The international media also said it was the most visited exhibition in the country.
The Egyptian exhibition in Paris finished on Sept. 22, 2019, having received more than 1.4 million visitors since March 23 of 2019 at the Grand Hall de la Villette.
Minister of Antiquities Khaled Al-Anani said that in 1967, when France hosted the exhibition for the first time, it attracted 1.2 million visitors.
Anani added that despite the success of the exhibitions, only a small portion of the Golden King and ancient Egyptian civilization treasures were on display.
"Tutankhamun: The treasures of the Golden Pharaoh" exhibition included 150 artifacts from the collections of the young king and a number of wooden boxes, canopic pots, a gilded wooden Ka statue and alabaster pots.
The exhibition was launched by Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Al-Anani and the French Minister of Culture Franck Riester in March of 2019.

Dutch couple’s marriage annulled due to ChatGPT speech
- The pair said “I do” and the officiant declared them “not only husband and wife, but above all a team”
- The judge found that they had not actually sworn to fulfil their marriage duties
AMSTERDAM: A Dutch couple had their marriage annulled after the person officiating used a ChatGPT-generated speech that was intended to be playful but failed to meet legal requirements, according to a court ruling published this week.
The pair from the city of Zwolle, whose names were redacted from the January 5 decision under Dutch privacy rules, argued that they had intended to marry regardless of whether the right wording was used when they took their vows.
According to the decision, the person officiating their ceremony last April 19 asked whether they would “continue supporting each other, teasing each other and embracing each other, even when life gets difficult.”
The pair said “I do” and the officiant declared them “not only husband and wife, but above all a team, a crazy couple, each other’s love and home base.”
But the judge found that they had not actually sworn to fulfil their marriage duties — something that is required under Dutch law.
“The court understands that the date in the marriage deed is important to the man and woman, but cannot ignore what the law says.” It ordered the marriage removed from the Zwolle city registry.
