How To Move A 12 Ton Sphinx

Informações:

Synopsis

The  University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology - known better as the Penn Museum - needed to move its most famous object, a 3,000 year old Egyptian sphinx, from a gallery to the main hall as part of a renovation project. The move was only 300 feet - but the sphinx happens to weigh 12.5 tons - so it took three days to get from point A to point B. Plus: a regional minister in Pakistan livestreamed his news conference on social media... with the cat filter accidentally turned on.  A monumental move for the Penn Museum’s iconic sphinx (University of Pennsylvania)   Pakistani politician livestreams press conference with 'cat filter' on by mistake (Telegraph UK)   Our backers are monumental!
