As someone who studied ancient Egypt in college and fell in love with it, I need to see these in person!!!

[djmaciiiii]

There was a King Tut exhibition on tour in my hometown when I was a little kid. I remember it being the coolest thing I had ever seen, and it made me want to see all the great museums of the world.

[vickyschnorbus]

Ive had the privilege to see some of Tut's treasures in the old museum in Cairo. They were breathtaking.

The Dagger talked about has been known as coming from meteoric Iron for at least 50 years. I remember reading about it when I was in college!

[robertbolivarr]

Their mastery of the craft was truly exceptional, transcending the boundaries of their time. Their skills were so advanced that they were able to create works of art that continue to inspire awe and admiration even today.

Imagine being king Tut, you live happily in the afterlife for 3246 and wake up one morning to see that all your stuff is gone.

Harold Carter's greatest contribution archeology isn't the finding of the tomb of Tut. Rather it is his serious and meticulous attention to detail and respect for his craft. In the time before Carter, many so called archeologists were nothing more than grave robbers looking for treasure. The care the current generation of archeologists take to preserve and learn has a lot to do with Carter's example.

Ancient history of Egypt never ceases to stun and amaze us!

[MatCendana]

Such splendid treasures for just a so-so pharaoh. Just imagine what had been laid with the great ones like Ramses II. Such a shame most tombs had been looted.

[gregedmand]

I vividly recall coming face to face with some of these treasures, when they were on tour in Western Canada in the early 60's. I remember, as a 10-year-old thinking that I should feel warm, being so close to that much glowing gold!

[victoriabardsley]

I think what surprises me the most is that there are reliefs of Tutankhamun portrayed as a warrior king when the reality is he was so physically crippled he couldn't have walked without a cane so it's highly unlikely he would have been able to stand in a chariot or go to battle the way other Pharaohs did.

[OvcharkaShepherd]

With all these artifacts for a minor king, begs the question if the tombs of the greater kings were plundered, where are ANY of those treasures

[bethparker]

I was there 6 wks ago. The huge museum is not open yet, King Tut is still at the wonderful old Cairo museum, which is a joy.

[thewhodat]

Just brought tears to my eyes imagine walking in the tomb of king tut after almost 4000 years and seeing a solid gold coffin

[rickythompson]

I love watching archeology watched it for years never gets old.

[sandramorey]

We feel honored to have seen the Tut exhibition twice in San Francisco when it was traveling. The second time we took our kids. I don't think it made much of an impression on them as they were pretty young. but I felt a duty to at least expose them to it. I bought the catalog which I still have. It is very exciting to see the new research and especially the dagger found on Tut's body. The new technolgy is enabling so much new research. Thank you.

The thing that im also glad to see is that Howard Carter is getting more recognition for his brilliant discovery. Not to forget also that if it wasn't for Lord kanarvon nothing would have been found possibly, .
