King Tut's treasures, in America for the last time
At the California Science Center in Los Angeles, young and old alike are coming to marvel at the treasures of King Tutankhamun, still gleaming after more than 3,000 years. John Blackstone reports on the exhibit, which features many Tut artifacts that have never previously been displayed outside of Egypt - and which will never again be allowed outside the country.

Omg! That’s my Mom selling the Tut Nut t-shirts. She passed away in 2011 and seeing her here like this (and looking so happy and cute) made me so happy today!!! I love you, Mom!❤️

Aww so so cool, shel prob be sitting with Tut somewhere having a chinwag about Egypt. So cool to have a wee memory like this though.
I saw the exhibit in DC when I was a teen (in the 1970s). It was one of the most astounding experiences of my life.
My mom and grandmother took me and my little sister there in 2004. Im 26 now and I am the only one still alive today out of us 4. It hurts me so bad to have nobody to share these memories with out of those 3 women but, atleast I was lucky to have them in my life.
It was such a beautiful exhibit. I’m beyond blessed to have been able to see it in person on my lifetime

I saw a special night showing of King Tuts artifacts at the Chicago Field Museum a few years ago. I will never forget it. We did pay a premium price for the special showing but it was worth every dollar. Imagine being in the Chicago Field Museum at NIGHT with no crowds with only 25 other people. The building was eerily quiet, dark and somewhat scary, but we could take our time looking at the wonderous, ancient, beautiful artifacts. One of the highlights of my and my wife's life.

No! The new Grand Museum will be open in July and the old museum will close in April as they start moving all artifacts to the new one
I was lucky to be able to attend this exhibition. The craftsmanship of the Egyptians is phenomenal in the mass amount of artifacts of riches they had there.
I went to see King Tut's Exhibit in Seattle. I went there during Summer but once the school year starts our School Organized a another Trip because it once in a lifetime. Every Single Grade went to see it. I'm really glad that the principal was able to get a financial backing for it.
I saw the exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the late 70's. It was spectacular. I'll never forget the long lines to get in even with a ticket.

I just saw this in August in LA and in Cairo in November - if you haven't been back since 68, I think you'd be surprised at the disrepair and the general conditions of the museum. Statues of Ramses sit in the open without any barrier or protection and you can clearly see the difference in color around the legs of the statue as thousands of hands over the years have touched it, leaving lotion and oils on it. As you move up the statue and out of reach the statue returns to a more normal, original color.

Can you imagine what the great pharaohs tombs were like before looting..
I saw this exhibit in the 1980. I was 10 and it changed my life. I had no interest in history until then. Thanks Funky Tut.
Saw this exhibit in August and recall the piece with King Tut standing on top of a black cat. I then went to Egypt and to the Egyptian museum in Cairo this past November and saw the exact same piece, which raises questions. Perhaps this is one of the pieces that is a replica on display in Los Angeles - maybe they are all replicas.
I'm very glad to have seen many of these artifacts when they were in my city.
I wonder how they extracted gold with their technology

I saw this on the second-to-last day on Saturday and it was really exciting seeing these artifacts! So glad I got to see this exhibition before everything goes back to Egypt!
They say “King Tut’s on display for the Last Time” every time the exhibit comes to America. I saw it in 2008 “for the Last Time.” Just a marketing ploy to inflate ticket prices

The new museum at Giza is huge, and the cost immense - Egypt will need people to come there to see the treasures of ancient Egypt, so whatever leaves Egypt in the future to be put on display will probably be very limited. Also, the Egyptian government has become more insistent over the last couple of years that artefacts that were wrongfully taken to other parts of the world (even those given as "political" gifts by a careless government that didn't really understand or appreciate its country's own history) be returned to Egypt. Zahi Hawass is very passionate about this - he wants what they have to stay in Egypt, and a lot of what's exhibited around the world to be returned to Egypt, eventually.

We Pleasant Hill highschool students were loaded up on buses and went over the Bay Bridge to San Francisco, 1967? To see the King Tut exhibit. It was nice but I walked through the beautiful grounds with Diana White. Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum, the one in Hitchcock's movie Vertigo. We watched the Golden Gate Bridge disappear as fog rolled in, from the hillside high above.
Tutankhamun was a very significant Pharaoh. He restored Egypt's capital and religion after his father, known as the "heretic Pharaoh" Akhenaten, changed both.
Amazing treasures!

Soooo the only display is in California? Started in March of 2018, and this is the first we hear about it? Ends on Jan 13th of 2019. Not fair to the rest of the United States. Why the lack of coverage? When seeing the exhibit in Chicago in 2006, it was well published and sold out every day? Why is it not shown in other cities ? Very disappointed! Would have traveled to California if we had known! They could have raised a lot more money for their museum in Egypt if they moved it to other big cities? New York, Atlanta, Chicago just for examples.

I am not suggesting it is easy to do, but if it's possible, you'd do yourself a favor by waiting for the items to return to Cairo and the new Grand Egyptian Museum. The current museum in Cairo is 117 years old now and in bad shape. I saw this exhibit in LA in August and saw some of the same pieces in Cairo this past November, which obviously raises questions. Either way, I plan to return to Cairo in a few years once this museum is open.

Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, "Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'black', while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans”

I'm glad that they're using this to help build the museum in Egypt to house the artifacts. Half way through the video I got confused and angry thinking that us Americans took these artifacts and kept them in America. It's great that there are people organizing and keeping this alive. It helps keep the bonds we have between other cultures and people.
Except that isn’t true that the treasures won’t leave Egypt again. It did another tour in 2022 of over 70 items

American Mysteries & Conspiracies Tutankhamun (also spelled Tutenkhamen) is the most famous of all pharaohs. He was the son and successor of Akhenaten, grandson of Amenhotep III and Queen Tiye and great-grandson of the royal matriarch Queen Thuya. Archeologist Howard Carter’s opening of his intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 ranks among the most splendid discoveries of history. In 2010, genetic fingerprinting of his mummy determined that he died at the early age of 19 as the result of violence or an accident to which the incestuous relationship of his parents and several genetic defects contributed. Tutankhamun actually carries a “double dose” of the allele named for him. Like most of the other genes in the family, it is African in ancient origin, but unlike the other markers it has a sparse distribution outside Africa with a worldwide average frequency of 4%. Still, Africans and African-influenced populations (1 in about 10) are about twice or three times as likely to have it as non-Africans. dnaconsultants.com/king-tut-gene/

He was a ruler of Kemet.

Tutankhamun means (living image of the God Amun or Amen, and that image is a black man! (Black power).

Majority% will be Middle East/North Africa which is the same people who ancestors migrated to the motherland. sometime around 639 AD/CE or later! You could hear the fakeness in Zahi Hawass voice when describing King Tut face dark but fertile,he what's people to believe the people of KMT was his color Cornish!
