About this deal

At the heart of four gilded shrines, one inside the other, ornately decorated with religious scenes and hieroglyphic texts and almost filling the chamber, lay a sarcophagus carved with the images of protective goddesses. Within that were three coffins in human shape, tightly fitting one inside the other. The outermost coffins were carved of wood overlaid with gold, with the middle coffin encrusted with polychromatic glass and semi-precious stones.

Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures offers an unparalleled glimpse into the life of the young king. After captivating millions of visitors all over the world, this stunning exhibition about the wonders of Ancient Egypt is now coming to Atlanta! Make a simple cardboard vulture and cobra shape, cover in modroc and attach to the mask’s forehead. Leave the mask to dry completely. Ancient Egypt has long fascinated later scholars. When the first Europeans began exploring north Africa they saw and marveled at the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. By the 18th century, historians and tomb-raiders began finding many artifacts. Some of those early diggers weren't as careful as modern science could wish, and damaged or destroyed many objects. But the art, writings and architecture they found gave glimpses of some of the most intriguing figures in history. Nefertiti. Hatshepsut. Tutankhamen. Cleopatra. The building, with its homage to Ancient Egypt, survived for 26 years, before being demolished in 2014 to make way for luxury flats. The sarcophagus of boy pharaoh King Tutankhamun is on display in his newly renovated tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt

To get neat stripes of blue on the nemes, we used strips of masking tape to mask out the gold. Our eyeliner and eyebrow colour wasn’t quite as neat, but it wasn’t bad for a first go. I’ll make a new New Romantic out of him yet… A man uses a camera to take a picture of the linen-wrapped mummy of the 18th dynasty Pharaoh in his underground tomb

He was the son of Akhenaten and took to the throne at the age of nine or ten. He died at around the age of 18 and his cause of death is unknown. For many years, rumors of a “Curse of the Pharaohs” (probably fueled by newspapers seeking sales at the time of the discovery) persisted, emphasizing the early death of some of those who had entered the tomb. Tutankhamun inspired the world of design and popular culture, from the most expensive jewellery and furniture, to ceramics, games, cigarette cards and posters; from a ‘King Tut’ brand of Californian lemons produced by the Johnson Fruit Company, to books such as ‘The Kiss of the Pharaoh: The Love Story of Tut-Ankh-Amen’, published in 1925 ; from the then American President, Herbert Hoover (1874 to 1964), calling one of his dogs ‘King Tut’ , to songwriter, Harry Von Tilzer, writing a ‘Roaring Twenties’ novelty hit, ‘Old King Tut’. Detail of fabric from 1923. Source: Creative Commons. Add a long, folded strip around the forehead (just above the eyebrows) to make the clean edge of the nemes, just like on the real Tutankhamun mask. Above our Tutankhamun’s forehead is a folded piece of newspaper, arranged to look like cloth then covered in modroc to hold it in place and make it hard.Premium Flex Entry VIP - includes skip-the-line entry to the experience at any time on your selected date, an exclusive poster, and 1 complimentary drink (coffee, tea, water, or soda) Place the mask in position on top of the nemes, then flip both over and attach together around the inner edge of the mask, using modroc. Leave to dry.
