Charity, love, design, wisdom, strength – Isis was a figure who carried with these and countless other icons, themes, and qualities in her legends, etching them onto the wall of civilizations.
Her story continues to echo through history, defining Egypt as the land of dignity, the cradle of civilizations and faiths.
The nation initiated the month of November with a magnificent present: The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), Egypt’s “Gift to the World”.
The Egyptian Embassy in Kuwait extended a gracious invitation to its guests to witness the inauguration of the GEM via live broadcast, held under the patronage and presence of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
The celebratory atmosphere at the Embassy in Kuwait began with guests being greeted by the enchanting music of the Pharaonic harp, immediately immersing the audience in the fragrance and heritage of ancient civilizations.
Following a welcoming address by His Excellency Ambassador Mohamed Gaber Abulwafa, the highly anticipated countdown began, marking the precise moment the bells of the present rang out to announce the museum’s opening to the world.
Egypt’s gift of the GEM is a truly civilizational edifice embodying the genius of the Egyptian people across the ages.
This museum restores the world’s memory of history and the beauty of civilization.
Its inauguration is not just a mere cultural event; it is a profound message of pride and assurance in Egypt’s millennia-old roots, and a message of hope for a future where culture illuminates the paths of development and awareness.
A tribute must be extended to everyone who contributed to this colossal achievement: from the creative seed planted by the former Egyptian Minister of Culture, the artist and innovator Farouk Hosny, to those who nurtured it until its roots blossomed, including the Minister of Culture Ahmed Fouad Hanno.
A tribute also to the land of civilizations and the cradle of religions, a tribute to Egypt and its wise leadership, His Excellency President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and a tribute to the people of Egypt.
