<p>I saw that exibit when it came to the Smithsonian.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Very shiny.</p>

[DJEvelEd]

<p>I saw that exhibit in like 1979. It was pretty cool from what I remember. Everything was so shiny &amp; pretty &amp; golden. I would go see it again. Is it still cursed? It never hurt me none.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

In another 25 years, we probably wont be here. I'm looking forward to getting vaporized actually. Bring it on TUT!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Going this weekend! Psyched.

One bummer - no picture taking allowed. I'll try and sneak some anyway.

He's famous only because finding a complete tomb with treasures was very Tut-uncommon.

The face of Egypt's most famous ancient ruler, King Tutankhamun, has been put on public display for the first time. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7077423.stm)

Leave Tut alone!

"Who, me?!"

[Furtherman]

Photo gallery of the opening of King Tut's tomb is almost as good as being there in person —better even, since you don't have to fear any Egyptian curse. (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/1923/05/tut-discovery/williams-photography)

[A.J.]

That is awesome.

[Crispy123]

That shit is crazy!!! I was reading about the CT scans & DNA tests they did, the dude had a club foot and his parents were brother & sister!!!

The study also showed that Tutankhamun died when he was only 19—perhaps soon after he suffered a fracture to his left leg.

I saw some National Geographic special on this when I was in Doha earlier this year. Apparently, he suffered a wound in battle -- or he was injured in something as simple as a chariot/horse riding accident.

I'm actually going to see the exhibit on Monday, I can't wait

I've seen it and it's excellent.

He ain't there though, it's just all is treasure.

His dad is in History Channel Ancient Aliens - The Visitors. Neat stuff.
