This basically says:
Isis is one of the most important deities of Pharaonic Egypt, symbolizing fertility and knowledge, Quetzalcoatl is the main god of prehispanic Mexico, representing goodness and knowledge, the creator and giver of life. The ancient civilizations of Mexico and Egypt, who never knew each other and lived hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, each possessed deities in the form of serpents, built pyramids and created 365 day calenders.
It is the first time that Egypt has sent an exhibition of antiquities to Mexico, and not only Mexico but to all of Latin America.

Egypt
Exhibition: More re Isis y la Serpiente Emplumada
Milenio.com
There's not much more information about this intriguing exhibition available, but the above page has some details about the source of the artefacts:
En el caso de las colecciones egipcias que conformarán Isis y La Serpiente Emplumada -detalló Ortiz Lanz- provendrán de los museos de E Cairo; el Grecorromano de Alejandría; de la Momificación en Luxor; de Asuán en Nubia y de Karnak. “Una de las coincidencias afortunadas para nuestro país es que el Museo Grecorromano de Alejandría se encuentra cerrado temporalmente por reestructuración y por tal motivo, prestará 15 de sus mejores piezas que de otra manera no podrían salir”, señaló.
The ancient Egyptian artefacts that form part of the exhibition come from Cairo, the Graeco-Roman museum of Alexandria, the Mumification Museum at Luxor, and from Aswan in Nubia and Karnak. 15 of the finest pieces were only available because the Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria has been temporararily closed for rennovation.
There's a lovely photograph of a golden head of Hathor. Around 200 items in the exhibition come from Mexico and 150 from Egypt.

Isis es una de las divinidades más relevantes del Egipto faraónico, símbolo de la fertilidad y del conocimiento, y Quetzalcóatl, el dios principal del México prehispánico, representa todo lo bueno y lo sabio, es creador y dador de vida. Las antiguas civilizaciones de México y Egipto, que nunca se conocieron y vivieron a cientos de miles de kilómetros de distancia, ambas poseyeron divinidades en forma de serpientes, construyeron pirámides y crearon un calendario de 365 días.
Esta es la primera vez que Egipto manda una exhibición de antigüedades a México, y no solo a México, sino a toda Latinoamérica.
