ABC WEDNESDAY-K-King Tut


Unfortunately no photography was allowed inside the exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota so I had to be satisfied with a photo of this huge poster just outside the waiting area.


Tutankhamun The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs

The exhibition features 50 objects from the tomb of King Tut, including the gold sandals that adorned the mummy's feet and a beautifully adorned gold coffinette that held his mummified internal organs.
In addition to the treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun, another 50 ancient artifacts are featured, which highlight many of the most significant rulers of ancient Egypt such as Khafre, whose face adorns the Sphinx in Egypt and the queen who was powerful enough to become king.

King Tut-Steve Martin Lyrics

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)
