I saw it last weekend! It was so cool. I loved how they connecting things from previous pharoahs.

What I found so amazing is how much of it is wood! 3300 year old carved and painted wood, still perfectly preserved! Absolutely amazing!

My favorite thing was that gold box with the missing figurine. The detailed pictures of Tut and Nefertiti's daughter/his wife/half-sister doing various activities.

I knew the mask was too fragile to do the road tour, but I was surprised at what did come that was found ON his mummy, and notes on stuff that were used in his life (like they had sentimental value rather than just ceremonial...it brought a sense of "he's a real person, not just a historical figure" to the exhibit, IMO).

Just amazing.

**shares geekitude with you**...and jealousy that pepper's been to Egypt and SEEN the real place. :-)
