Each mummy was carried on a decorated vehicle fitted with special shock-absorbers and surrounded by a motorcade, including replica horse-drawn war chariots. The parade was a lavish spectacle that drew fanfare to the country's robust collections of antiquities in an elaborate procession.

The parade was led by a chariot carrying the mummy of Ramses II, one of the most famous pharaohs in Egyptian history.

The other mummies followed in chronological order of their reigns, from Seqenenre Taa II, who ruled in the 17th Dynasty, to Ramses IX, who ruled in the 12th Century BC.

The mummies were placed in containers with a nitrogen atmosphere to be transported and were relocated with tight security arrangements befitting their royal blood and status as national treasures.
