Many mysteries surround Ancient Egypt including how the pyramids were built and why they were built. Many archaeologists have tried to learn more about the history of Ancient Egypt. One archaeologist made an astonishing discovery nearly a century ago when he discovered the undisturbed tomb of Tutankhamun. This was a huge breakthrough and helped us learn more about Egypt's grand past.
Premier Exhibitions 5th Avenue has just unveiled a new exhibition in the heart of NYC entitled "The Discovery of King Tut", which has traveled the world and provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore the legendary tomb and its treasures just as archaeologist Howard Carter originally discovered them! The exhibition takes you back more than 3,000 years to trace the story of the boy king who reigned for a decade and died suddenly at age 19. This unique experience explores the legendary tomb and its treasures as they were at the exact moment of their discovery. Visitors feel the rush of excitement as they step into a moment only ever witnessed by Howard Carter’s excavation team, view more than 1000 precisely crafted replicas and reconstructions and discover the story behind one of the most iconic moments in history without stepping on a plane! The Discovery of King Tut is scheduled to run through May 1, 2016. Tickets are $29 for adults and $20 for children. For more information visit www.TutNYC.com |
