00:01The walls of Cairo's Grand Egyptian Museum came alive on Sunday on the opening night of a dazzling light show.
00:11Under the title Eternal Sun, the show marks the museum's first anniversary
00:17by bringing to life stories that have shaped Egyptian civilization for centuries.
00:25These are things we can learn through this exhibition, whether what the ancient Egyptians used to do or how they
00:32lived or how they interacted with society
00:34and built this great civilization in a completely new way.
00:40Not artifacts and not a story, but rather a combination of these things in a technological way.
00:47And this is what we said, that this museum doesn't just present artifacts, but it presents a different experience.
00:55A new experience for the visitor, whether Egyptian or foreign, through the use of different technological means.
01:05Located on the edge of Cairo, near the Great Pyramids, the museum is home to nearly 50,000 artifacts.
01:11They include treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922.
01:23We want to tell the world that Egypt is still telling its history, using the latest technology and always in
01:31a new way.
01:42The show begins after sunset, and is set to run for six months.
