Got A Condo Made Of Stona
Tomorrow I am going to see this guy.
I am actually going to see stuff like this.
The exhibit will feature treasures found in the King's tomb. I do not know how many treasures will be there, but it will be a lot of stuff. And like I said, the stuff is ancient - everything will be at least 3,500 years old.
I do not know if the actual King Tut will be there, but this is what he looks like today.
I already purchased two tickets, WITH the audio tour option for an extra $7 per ticket. Total cost to me - $77. Is it worth it? There is no doubt in my mind that it is worth every penny. By all the evidence we have today, humanity seems to have originated in Africa. Human civilization seems to have originated in the Middle East area (in modern day Iraq in fact). The ancient kingdom of Egypt was one of the Earth's first great civilizations.
And I am all set to see some stuff from that ancient kingdom. While I would like to go to Egypt and see more stuff, it would cost a lot more than $77 to do that. For now, this is the best I can do.
You can see where the treasures will go next at this site - www.kingtut.org. If they are going to be in a city near you, get your tickets! This exhibit may never leave Egypt again.

Oh, he's my favorite honkey too! You are so right to go see it.
I'll have to see if it's coming near me.
So, who ya takin' with ya? Huh?
I went on Saturday and it was definitely worth it! The exhibit was very nicely done in a timeline fashion. They walk you through the artifacts of Early Egypt so you can get some background info,and then start taking you into the Valley of the Dead and then into King Tut. He wasn't actually there, but there is a sarcophagus (not his) that is really cool, along with a bunch of things I've only seen in books.
Yeah, it's coming to Philly in 2007, and they are already accepting "pre-registration" for groups of 10 or more. Whoa.
How early did you have to get tickets?
As you can see, he does not look so good. *LOL*
The kids and I love that song. I've been looking for it so that they could hear it. And YAY! You had it here! Thanks for sharing, as always... another great post!
I am glad someone likes my theme songs!
PS - do not tell the music police ok?
LI, my lips are sealed...
