Egypt succeeded in drawing the world’s attention to it, with a “dazzling” ceremony to open the Rams Road in the southern city of Luxor, on Thursday, which won praises from several sides outside the country.
In a solemn festive atmosphere that mixed modern technological influences and the scent of ancient history, Egypt reopened the 3,400-year-old archaeological road, which witnessed major processions that crossed it and are guarded by more than a thousand statues on both sides.
The British newspaper, “The Times”, said that “the opening ceremony of the Rams Road in Egypt competed with the processions of the Pharaohs 3,500 years ago.”
The British newspaper “Daily Mail” praised the celebration, saying that Egypt had unveiled what it described as a “sacred road” lined with thousands of statues, and was used as a procession route for the gods 3,000 years ago.
