Should be serial numbers stamped on the artifacts during the production run...just trace it.

Worst part of going to the King Tut’s Treasures exhibit a few months ago was his commentary. That aside, it was something we are very glad we took the kids to see.

I saw that in Chicago, Field Museum, day after Christmas a couple years ago. Absolutely loved it. It was like trying to leave an arena after the game, the people were packed so tight. I don’t remember Zowie’s talking, but I was sick and medded up a bit. Thought they did a great job with it overall, particularly considering that this tour didn’t reproduce the exhibition that came through in the 1970s.

It was a tough choice. They had King Tut and the Chinese terracotta army in Atlanta at the same time. We really couldn’t go to both. I probably would have chosen the Chinese, but the kids understood the Egyptian stuff more from what they saw on TV. That and you remember seeing that much gold.

Ask them for Dearborn, Michigan back while you are at it.

Tut is really great. I was fortunate enough to see it in the Cairo Museum. 10 or 15 times. Couldn’t get enough really.
Also, the Louvre has some Egyptian knapped ceremonial (looked like chert) knives that are absolutely fantastic.
Seems like they said they were used to cut imbilical cords.

No, that would be the Colts and Johnny Unitas losing to Joe Namath in 1969, or Bill Buckner letting the ball go through his legs in 1986. /sarc>
Cheers!

10,000 fundie muzzies chipping away at the pyramids with pickaxes would make a good scene in some twisted comedy.Don't laugh, they've already done such a thing. The Muslims are the ones who trashed the pyramids and removed the polished tiles to adorn their Mosques.

Human history, not personal history. Think beyond the scope.
And yes. /Cheerz

Please don’t mention the Library at Alexandria. I cried when I first heard about it in high school, and it still makes me tear up to think of what was lost forever.

Okay, a little jealous...

Went to see the Monet water lillies exhibit a few weeks ago. I wish I could’ve seen this much when I was a kid. I can’t believe the number of people we know that live less than an hour from Atlanta and don’t take their kids to see squat.

I’m not much of a fan of the Impressionists, but (like all painting) the original works are much more, uh, impressive in person. :’)
