The mummified remains of 22 ancient Egyptian kings and queens will be paraded through the streets of Cairo this Saturday, in an eye-catching royal procession to a new resting place.

Dubbed the Pharaohs' Golden Parade, the 18 kings and four queens will travel in order, oldest first, each aboard a separate float decorated in ancient Egyptian style.
