I am a huge, closet fan of “The Mummy” movies with Brendan Fraser. So I was very excited to hear that a new mummy exhibit was coming to Atlanta. And not just any mummy – King Tut. Beginning November 15 – May 2009, this exhibit will make its North American debut at the Civic Center. Featuring more than 130 objects spanning 2000 years of Egyptian history, the artifacts not only feature King Tut’s time, but also that of other great pharaohs such as Khefren (whose great pyramid is the only remaining structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and Hatshepsut, the queen who became king.
Advance ticket purchases are highly recommended. I have also heard that they sell out in every city they’re in, so buy early. For more information, click here.
