Egypt moves last chariot of King Tut

CAIRO - Egypt moved the sixth and last chariot of famed pharaoh Tutankhamun on Saturday to the boy king's vast collection of items in an under-construction museum near the pyramids in Giza.

The unique artifact, a major feature of the military museum for more than 30 years, paraded through Cairo with a military police escort to its final resting place at the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to thousands of artifacts spanning different dynasties of ancient Egypt. King Tut's items, including the six chariots, are to be put on display in halls covering 7,000 square meters of the museum.

The Antiquities Ministry has been gradually moving King Tut's belongings to the new museum to undergo restoration before they are put on display. The transfer of King Tut's belongings has become a particularly sensitive issue.
