We are not huge fans of museums – and boy did that change as Marym guided us through Egyptian history & King Tut’s tomb story. spellbound.
First, the many artifacts in the museum & their stories – fascinating.
Then….King Tut his unremarkable life story & the amazing story of the search for his tomb – crazy good!
So he was not an amazing king – after all he ruled from 9 -19 years old…he should be playing soccer! Died early-tragic. What is amazing – as he was not a ‘big deal’ – no grave robbers looted his burial site. Good luck for us. It took archeologists decades to find this site & they were months away from giving up when a kid dropped an urn of water – revealing steps that lead to his burial site – again CRAZY. The amount of artifacts in his grave site for his ‘after life journey’ remarkable. I am going to post lots of photos & this is a fraction of the whole.






And I didn’t include food & chariots!
