SUMMARY:Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
DESCRIPTION: Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs\, the exhi
	bition that drew nearly four million visitors during its two-year\, fo
	ur-city tour\, will return to the United States for a three-city encor
	e tour. Following the success of the first tour\, which broke records 
	at each of the four museums it visited in the United States from June 
	2005 through September 2007\, the exhibition will return from its curr
	ent London engagement to open at the Dallas Museum of Art in October 2
	008. The Dallas exhibit marks the first time these artifacts will be s
	een in the Southwest region. The current exhibition includes an extens
	ive array of more than 130 extraordinary artifacts from the tomb of Tu
	tankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites. The return of the exhibiti
	on to the United States will include a selection of artifacts that are
	 new to the exhibit and have never before been seen outside of Egypt. 
	Opening on October 3\, 2008\, at the Dallas Museum of Art\, Tutankhamu
	n and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs provides insight into the life of
	 Tutankhamun and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555-1305 B.C.). Al
	l of the treasures in the exhibition are between 3\,300 and 3\,500 yea
	rs old. Tutankhamun was one of the last kings of Egypt's 18th Dynasty 
	and ruled during a crucial\, turmoil-filled period of Egyptian history
	.The boy king died under mysterious circumstances around age 18 or 19\
	, in the ninth year of his reign (1323 B.C.). Tutankhamun and the Gold
	en Age of the Pharaohs offers glimpses of that evolving period. On dis
	play are fifty of Tutankhamun's burial objects\, including his royal d
	iadem — the gold crown discovered encircling the head of his mummifi
	ed body that he likely wore as king — and one of the gold and precio
	us stone inlaid canopic coffinettes that contained his mummified inter
	nal organs. More than seventy additional objects from tombs of 18th Dy
	nasty royals\, as well as several non-royal individuals\, are also exh
	ibited. These stone\, faience\, and wood pieces from burial sites befo
	re Tut's reign give visitors a sense of what the lost burials of other
	 royalty and commoners may have been like.
