I also find ancient Egypt a fascinating study. Imagine having a gold chariot! These items are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I will bet that was a wonderful exhibit to be able to take a look at. The details on the statues is stupendous! Nice journey Claudia.
@November Rain - yes, the exhibition was great, and what was amazing was the fact that his tomb was considered modest by normal pharaoh standards!
@Karen - by watching them you actually want to travel to Egypt to see the Valley of the Kings.
Beautiful photographs! Thank you for sharing...wonder if I'll ever make it to Egypt!
Thank you for sharing the tour photos! These are great and you fit it nicely into the GBE challenge!
@Beachlover - my thoughts exactly!
@Maria - thank you, I tried to make the word part of my history tour
That's a trip I won't ever make,so thank you so much for sharing! The pics are amazing. King Tut is such a story all on his own, isn't he? Hard to imagine what a youngster he was and what a life the poor little guy lived.
♥ this.
Very cool and so fascinating!! Loved hearing all about it and seeing the pictures.

I would love to see that exhibit!! How totally cool that you got to go--thanks for sharing the pictures!
Fantastic photos - brought back memories of not just the exhibition (which I saw last year), but my visit to the tomb itself in the Valley of the Kings, and all the wonderful artefacts in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The 'Treasures Room' was mind-blowing - so much gold!
@Amy - I am happy you enjoyed it!
@Jo - I also wonder if he was happy
@Kathy - glad you found it interesting
@Jenn - it was very cool indeed :)
@Paula - you are so lucky to see it live, what a chance!
Oh, when I was a kid, I heard about stories of the curse of Tutankhamun. Was it in any way part of the exhibition? You are right, can't imagine the religious confrontations he had to go through.:) Loved the photos!
There is a new show about Ancient Egypt that I just started watching last night (it's on Netflix). I think it is very interesting, trying to figure out how we lived so long ago.
@Feathered Pen - not so much talk about the curse, my hubby waited for that as well :)
@Elizabeth - that must very interesting indeed, maybe they will broadcast it in Europe as well!
