King Tut Exhibition

We enjoyed a few hours at the Pacific Science Museum, spending some of that time at the King Tut Exhibition. Being a Wilbur Smith fan Scott loved it. It was truly amazing to see artifacts from Tutankhamun's tomb and other era's from the pharohs. Most of it well inexcess of 2000 years old.
 
Howard Carter found Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Must have been a very happy man that day.
 
 Over 3000 years old and still in pretty good knick.
 
 Over 8 million people world wide have seen the exhibition, and I'm betting none of them were dissapointed.


 
 Large or small, the detail was amazing.

 A necklace worn by one of the pharohs wives.
 
 Pretty cool mask.
 
A story telling tablet.

 It's very hard for the photos to do it justice. You'll have to believe us.



 King Tut's goblets and his death mask.
 
A very cool way to spend a couple of hours in Seattle.
