The goal of the event, ultimately, was to show Egypt’s respect towards its ancestors and their ancient civilization, one of the oldest in all of human history. Not only were their songs specifically prepared for the event, several ancient ancient Egyptian words were uttered in music for the first time in ages, alongside other examples of ancient Egyptian music. Their goal was to strongly reflect the features of the event within the logo, with colors and design choices influenced by ancient Egypt. The double colors of the logo – dark blue and gold – were directly lifted from ancient Egyptian styles. Preparations for the transfer of the royal mummies began about a year and a half ago, starting with a comprehensive study that looked over the condition of each mummy.
