Whither the latest list of the Seven Wonders of the World? Nowhere, if Egypt has anything to do with it, writes Nevine El-Aref

Deities, votive offerings and stelae illustrating the religious convictions and social life of the ancient Egyptians in the early part of the 19th Dynasty are the Egyptian Museum's latest attractions. Nevine El-Aref reports that for the next six months visitors to the museum will have a first glimpse of these treasures, long-buried not beneath the sand but in the museum's basement.
