King Tut Exhibit

Homeschoolers can learn about King Tut while visiting St. Paul, Minnesota.
King Tut's treasures will be on display at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
On view from February 18th, 2011 until September 5th, 2011,
Tutankhamun and
the Golden Age of the Pharaohs
provides insight into the life of Tutankhamun
and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 BC). All of the treasures in the
exhibition are more than 3,000 years old.

Tutankhamun was one of the last kings of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty and ruled
during a critical period of Egyptian history. The boy king died under mysterious
circumstances at the age of 18 or 19, in the ninth year of his reign (1322 BC).
Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings was filled with magnificent
treasures meant to ensure his divine immortality.

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs offers glimpses of that
critical period in Egyptian history.  Included are many of the day-to-day objects
enjoyed by the young king, including a finely crafted child’s chair and an inlaid
game board.
