Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and director of the Giza Saqqara Pyramids, announces Dec. 1, 2004 that more than 130 treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut), other Valley of the Kings tombs and ancient sites will return to the United States on a 27-month tour beginning in Los Angeles on June 16, 2005. The exhibition will include 50 major objects excavated from Tutankhamun's tomb, including his royal diade, the gold crown he likely wore while living between 3,300-3,500 years ago.

"Where can you go as an adult for $30 and see ancient Egyptian artifacts that are valued at over $650 million?," said Norman. "It is unfortunate that museums can't be free anymore, but those are the economics."

I could say the same about health care...

Fellow Freepers:

I come to you today with hat in hat. I need your help. You see, I am only $10.00 away from being able to prove that I am a direct descendant of King Tutankhamen and that the treasures that have been held hostage for years by the Egyptian government actually belong to me. Of course, with your generous help, I can claim these treasures and share them with the folks here at FreeRepublic. Donations are being accepted at the address below. Bless you.
