Aaaaah . . . the mummy what got me interested in Egypt. How I would love to have seen that tomb! Or even a good re-creation.
Ah, just in time to vote.
If you ever get to meet a wrap artist in person, be verrrry careful what you say about his mummy...
thanks NR for the reminder!

Just for kicks, I might decide to have myself buried in solid bedrock, in a tomb filled with artifacts proclaiming myself king of the world, as well as gifts of science and knowledge to our future descendants. I'll have the tomb filled with a heavy noble gas, and sealed air tight, and leave clues to its location all over the place.
In the distant future, after global warming destroys civilization as we know it, my revisionist history of our modern culture will be the basis for a future civilization.

Woo-hoo! I am attending a conference in Chicago this July, and our group will have the entire museum, and King Tut exhibit, to ourselves! We took the kids to see it when it was in L.A. I thought it was a good mixture of artifacts and the final room with all the King Tut stuff was outstanding.
#1 son starts school in Glendale Heights in August so I plan to be in the city and must take in the show. We toted him thru the Ramses exhibit in Dallas when he was a babe--hope he likes this show better than he liked Ramses!
I heard that the LA museum was using a slogan 'The King of Bling' in some ads for the tour.
They cart out Tut every couple of decades or so for a 'your last chance to see Tut's relics, ever!' tour.
That's probably only true for the most elderly of people during any given tour.
