Tut Tut


We were fortunate that the local museum has the King Tut exhibit, so we went to see it.  The displays were accompanied by some very well done documentation that gave us an idea of how the tomb was discovered and excavated and how the Egyptians buried the pharoahs last remains.  It must have been a truly awesome spectacle, the lavish display of wealth that even now is hard to believe possible.  The solid gold ornaments, bed, even a knife & sheath so far beyond anything even wealthy people could afford  & all of the other stuff that was in the tomb to help them on to the after life.
