I-cachette entsha yezinto zakudala ifunyenwe ekuqaleni kwale veki kwindawo esentshona yemyuziyam yaseYiputa. Oku kufunyenweyo kutsha bekuyinxalenye yeprojekthi yeBhunga eliPhezulu lezinto zakudala (i-SCA) yokuphucula iMyuziyam yaseYiputa eTahrir Square eCairo.
Unobhala jikelele we-SCA uDkt. Zahi Hawass uthe i-cachette ibandakanya izinto ezisithoba, phakathi kwazo itafile yokunikezela, inxalenye ephezulu ye-limestone stela, amatye aphethe i-hieroglyphs, kunye nesiseko sekholamu ye-limestone eqoshiwe yaseRamesside, kunye ne-cobra efunyenwe ecaleni kwayo.
U-Hawass uthe ii-cachettes ezimbini zazifunyenwe ngaphambili kwigadi yemyuziyam. Phambi kuka-1952, abembi bezinto zakudala babedla ngokungcwaba izinto zakudala ezithandabuzekayo, kodwa kuphela emva kokuba zirekhodwe kubhaliso lwemyuziyam kwaye zapapashwa ngokwesayensi. Akukho nto, nangona kunjalo, ibisele ifunyenwe malunga nale cachette yamva nje.
Iprojekthi yophuhliso lwamaziko olondolozo lwembali iya kudala indlela entsha yabantu abandwendwela imyuziyam. Umnyango wemyuziyam uya kuhlala ulisango elikhulu, kodwa ukuphuma kuya kuba kwicala elingasentshona lemyuziyam apho iindwendwe ziya kufumana ivenkile enkulu yeencwadi, indawo yokutyela kunye nezixhobo. U-Hawass wongeze ukuba iprojekthi yophuhliso iya kuququzelela indawo engaphantsi kwemyuziyam ukuze ikwazi ukuhlalisa iiholo zokufundisa, iholo yemiboniso yethutyana kunye neeholo zokufunda.
