King Tut Exhibit

Recommended Posts

Anyone planning on coming to Los Angeles June-November should check it out - could be the last time we are able to view this spectacular collection (unless of course you travel to Egypt).

Tickets went on sale last week and the first week is nearly sold out already....

I have a LACMA membership so if you need tix let me know, I can get 20% off.

I'm so excited to see this... giddy lil girl here!!! :)

Right on Ms. Ro.!!!!

I'm waiting for my mom to confirm when she is coming out (specifically for this), and then I'll buy us all tix. I should know by this weekend - we are going to talk tomorrow night about it (sadly, yes, I have a meeting date scheduled to speak with my mom - how pathetic am I)! :P

I think my cousin will be joining as well....

Oooooh, a girls day out!!! We could pick a nice rest to go to afterwards!! :)
YAY!!!

Luv's, g

Just got done looking at tickets online.
Looks like all is "currently not on sale" for this Sunday, matter of fact it appears that most Sat&Sun are sold out.
Doesn't look like I'm going this Sunday! bummer
I take it you have tix already?
Maybe I find a Fri. to go??

I can't look at this thread without thinking of that old Saturday Night live skit with Steve Martin. :D

Imagine him singing this all dressed up like King Tut:

King Tut (King Tut)
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he'd see
People stand in line to see the boy king.

(King Tut) How'd you get so funky?
(funky Tut) Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut).

(king Tut) Now, if I'd known
they'd line up just to see him,
I'd trade in all my money
And bought me a museum. (king Tut)

Buried with a donkey (funky Tut)
He's my favorite honkey!
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia (king Tut)

Dancin' by the Nile, (Disco Tut)
The ladies love his style, (boss Tut)
Rockin' for a mile (rockin' Tut)
He ate a crocodile.

He gave his life for tourism.
Golden idol!
He's an Egyptian
They're sellin' you.

Now, when I die,
now don't think I'm a nut,
don't want no fancy funeral,
Just one like ole king Tut. (king Tut)

He coulda won a Grammy,
Buried in his Jammies,
Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia,
He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a,
King Tut!

Haha.
I keep thinking of Batman series on tv.
And an episode of Taxi, when Jim went to see his Father (who was deciding who give a million dollars to)
His Dad was same guy(King Tut) on Batman..
Jim looks at him and says" Dad your FAT!"

For we east coast people, it'll be in Fort Lauderdale too. The link is for VIP tickets if you join before 6/30. Otherwise, you get a date and time.

Really? Why didn't you like Cairo?

I've been dying to go to Egypt for almost 10 years now - but with...well, current world politics I've decided to put it off, but I hope to go as soon as its safer :)
I almost minored in Egyptian History, that stuff facinates me to no end!

I was in Egypt in 2001. Our last night in Cairo was sep 11!
With the exception of a scarey last evening, it was a magical trip. We spent time at the Egyption Museum and did a Nile cruise. I still get goose bumps thinking about it.
Jen, When we meet at Cross Keys ask me about it.

It's REALLY dirty and SMELLS horrible. Everytime you walk outside the hotel you are MOBBED by people trying to get money out of you. The food is fairly bad. I just hate the Arabic culture in general. Sorry to say it but I'm being honest.

Karen - Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to bug...er..ask you about it at CK :D

Clay - thanks for the feedback. I've heard similar things from other people who have been there, but they say if you go with a group and stay in the more 'touristy' areas its not as bad. The money must be really good over there if you hate the culture that much :D:ph34r: I doubt I could put up with something I hate for long!

I went to Cairo with the military. It was OK because I spent 17 days there. I only actually went to the Air Field where I "worked" 5 times. I only REALLY worked twice at about 30 minutes per. So..........in 17 days in Cairo I was on call for 5 days and worked exactly 1 hour. Not bad for an Air Force guy. :D Yeah...........no complaints about the money in Iraq or the opportunity to "Do what I do." B| You can't buy that anywhere.

I saw the original exhibit in Seattle (the fabulous mask was included) and it was unforgettable! I highly recommend that anyone with an opportunity to see these very personal possessions from a life lived nearly four thousand years ago to go for it! It is mind boggling to accept the fact that human hands created such incredible works of art, tools, and clothing; some whose technique is still a mystery. It was and remains a humbling and inspiring experience.
