World’s fascination with ancient Egypt a 'heritage', Egyptologist says • FRANCE 24 English

The world’s fascination with ancient Egypt is a cultural "heritage" passed down from the Greeks and Romans, said Vincent Rondot, Egyptologist and former director of the Egyptian Department at the Louvre Museum. Rondot noted that many aspects of Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum reflect that enduring allure. Speaking about visitors to the Louvre’s Egyptian collection, he said they don’t just come to view the artefacts but “have an appointment — they come for a meeting”.
