Egypt plans new museum in shadow of pyramids

Egypt has announced it will build one of the largest museums in the world by 2010 to provide a home for its famous antiquities.

The Great Egyptian Museum is to be built in the shadow of the pyramids near Cairo.

The museum will replace the present Egyptian Museum, in the centre of Cairo, which can exhibit only a fraction of the artifacts it holds.
