King Tut's Exhibit!

Tonight, my parents were invited to a VIP showing of the King Tut exhibit in the city. It's in a more private gallery I believe in time square. I am going tonight with my friend Kim, but we are just going to the exhibit. This is the last time King Tut will be in North America. He is usually shown in the U.K. and the last time he was here was in the 1970's. I have been obsessed with Egyptology since I was probably seven or eight years old. I have dozens of books on different Kings of Ancient Egypt and other books specifically on the study of Ancient Egypt. I also have videos that my Aunt gave me about Egypt. I don't know what it is, but it's such a fascinating civilization. They were so advanced and complex, much like Ancient China and the Mayans. I have this huge book all about King Tut and I have always wanted to see him in an exhibit and I hear that the exhibit I'm seeing tonight has a lot on display. King Tut had several different wooden shrines and a quartzite sarcophagus when he was buried and he was buried with all of his valuables and necessities that he used while he was alive to bring into the after life. King Tutankhamun's tomb was found by Howard Carter in November 1922. King Tut's death was said to be unexpected and when he died the tomb he was buried in was not specifically cut for him. He was supposedly buried in his regent's tomb, Ay. Anyways, I don't want to bore anyone with King Tut's history so I'll leave it to that. =)
