~KING TUT~
THE GOLDEN KING AND THE GREAT PHARAOHS- Experience!!
The king Tut exhibit drew out many people for a variety of reasons on Jan. 10, 2010; it was pretty much packed. The exhibit layout its self is kind of narrow and had people in “line-ups” to see the pieces in the gallery that where kept in glass boxes. It was difficult to read the descriptions of the history with so many people standing/ walking around. There is an audio phone for and extra $6 that people can carry along the exhibit (recommended). An option to view a 3D film about King Tut and the pharaohs is available too.
King Tut is an up close experience with some of the worlds oldest and mysterious stories of the pharaohs and the world of Egypt. The art, for the language, the pyramids, the cloths, and accessories, the culture est. There were pieces of jewelry made of gold and precious stone; there were stone statues of the important pharaohs and children, a tomb for a cherished house cat, scriptures, golden slippers, gold engraved name belt buckles, and gold masks. There was even hand made wooden furniture and cups found in the tombs.
The most intriguing part is the mummified pharaohs and the beliefs after death. It was important that they would not be put to hard labor after death. It was a tradition for family members to leave gifts in the tombs to ensure a good after life. Gifts like: painted stone people- varying in size with a short poem written down the center (a poem from The Book of Dead). The most interesting idem found could possibly be a gold painted mummie box that held the intestines of King Tut!
The pharaohs had strong beliefs about life and death. It is said that the person who disturbs the tombs will be cursed. The pharaohs also, thought that leopard’s brought good luck, and snakes were bad luck. It was enlightening to learn about the pharaohs and see these amazing ancient artifacts! If you want to learn more, check out the exhibit at the AGO in Toronto (Only until: April 18, 2010).
