| | Al-Ahram Weekly | Heritage | Ramses II's last journey |
 | | "Ramses, Ramses, we are going to miss you!" "Grandfather, where are you going when you leave us?" "Love you, love you Ramses!" the people cried at every stage of Ramses's final journey to the GEM, where, it is hoped, he will spend the rest of his days. |
 | | Hawass went on to say that if Ramses could speak he would say how grateful he was for the move from such a polluted square, which over time has turned into a jungle of flyovers and buildings. |
 | | As one of the chief enthusiasts of the new museum, Hawass announced that the SCA was looking into the possible removal of the statue of Ramses II's daughter Princess Merit-Amun, now exhibited in the open air museum at Akhmin in Sohag, so it could be put on show beside her father at the GEM. |
