The three-month exhibition is expected to contribute LE7 million to Egypt's coffers, said Wafaa al Sediq, the head of the Egyptian delegation. The 115 pieces to be showcased include a statue of Queen Hatshepsut, who bestowed the title of pharaoh on herself, and another of Queen Nefertiti, wife of Akhenaton. El-Sediq said seminars would be held on the sidelines of the exhibition for Spaniards to know more about the impact of the ancient Egyptian civilization on Western and European civilizations".
