King Tutankhamun exhibit

Last Friday, I decided to go up to the city and see the King Tut exhibit at the de Young museum. I must say that it was quite something looking at all of these ancient artifacts that existed during his ten year reign. His artifacts were not seen until the end of the exhibit. What I did look at before his things were some things his Great Grandparents and in laws owned. They varied between statues, jewelry, and models made from wood. Then came the main event, the personal things of King Tut. I first saw his games and childhood toys/furniture. The treasury was next. His collection could personally rival that of the crown jewels of England. Towards the end their was a case that held the king's liver. An interesting side note was that because of his sudden death, certain items that were meant for another famous person, were given to the boy king. Isn't that just awful that this boy died so suddenly, he had to have things, that were meant for other people, given just to him? Anyway, at the very end were you might be seeing King Tut's coffin there was a projection at the top of the screen, which showed an image of his coffin. I did not actually see his coffin because it's still in Egypt. That and his funeral mask are located in the Valley of the Kings. The Egyptian government was very adamant about how they wanted to keep his coffin and funeral mask in Egypt because they did not want his curse to be placed on anyone. In the end I did enjoy myself, and the exhibit was made even more special with an audio tour by Omar Sherif.
An interesting thing about the curse is that it can be explained through science. His death, for example, was caused by a badly infected tooth. And as for the curse, when the archaeologists found him, they were not properly sanitized, so they got an ancient mold inside them.
