Pharaohs on the move
Livestream of the event. Someone out there is dropping acid to this. But you really don't need to on this occasion. Maxed out my surrealistic meter for the next few months.

Summary of the above:
Egypt mummies pass through Cairo in ancient rulers' parade
Egyptians have been witnessing a historic procession of their country's ancient rulers through the capital, Cairo.
The lavish, multimillion-dollar spectacle saw 22 mummies - 18 kings and four queens - transported from the peach-coloured, neo-classical Egyptian Museum to their new resting place 5km (three miles) away.
With tight security arrangements befitting their royal blood and status as national treasures, the mummies were relocated to the new National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in what is called The Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
They were transported with great fanfare in chronological order of their reigns - from the 17th Dynasty ruler, Seqenenre Taa II, to Ramses IX, who reigned in the 12th Century BC.

I'm sure the teeming poor of Cairo appreciate them...
