However, the king’s wooden coffin will only be on display in Paris from April sixth this year until next September 17, after which it will return to Egypt, according to the decision of the Egyptian Council of Ministers.

This was the second visit of the sarcophagus to Paris in 1976 with the mummy of King Ramses II to treat a mummy that was infected with fungus.
