Inside The Grand Egyptian Museum: Ramesses II And Tutankhamun's 5,500 Treasures

Egypt set out to build the biggest museum on Earth beside the pyramids. What it took will surprise you.

Go behind the scenes of the Grand Egyptian Museum on the Giza Plateau, a 1 billion euro megastructure shaped by triangular geometry, an 800-meter onyx wall, and a 28-meter window framing the Great Pyramid. See how a 100-ton statue of Ramesses II was moved like a royal procession through Cairo, why construction halted during the Arab Spring, and how 3D scanning and seismic engineering secured a building with no right angles. Step into the vast conservation center buried 30 meters below the sand where tens of thousands of artifacts are restored, and witness how all 5,500 pieces of Tutankhamun’s treasure will be displayed together for the first time.

From mind-bending logistics and a site carved to align with the plateau, to the debate over returning artifacts and a new airport built for access, this film reveals the audacity behind a cultural landmark designed for 10,000 daily visitors. Watch to discover the decisions you can only understand from inside the build.
