[Dakdizzy]

[RupertDCD27]

Cool, I wonder if this exhibit is still there at Luxor?

[evancortez2]

@RupertDCD27 - No longer, I was there 3 weeks ago and it's been replaced by the Titanic exhibit...

love it ! looks like the real tomb feel so better than a clinical glass chamber, i would love to go see it, even if it is not real, its about using your mind to get the sensation of what it might feel like to discover a tomb in the raw , they did a great job on the set up

[evancortez2]

Yes, absolutely they did :)

[bigfanofthings]

@gotproductions it is real there isn't anther one because they don't have 2 at the same time because there is 1 tut king in the world. and that's real because i am going there today in australia

Tut remains or any corpse whose DNA was taken to prove that Egyptians back then were white descent is pure fiction. Look at the clay like skin color on the pictures of ancient egypt monument and the features of the sphinx , all of those are testimony of a black race culture; a very different culture from the one that Alexander the greek placed in Egypt after he conquered the land of the pharoahs.

What's the name of the stargate track music?

[evancortez2]

@exodiamike5 - I think it's called the main theme

See My Uploads for more on black ancient Egypt.

You will see things like the the mummy of Thutmose the 1st with coarse wooly hair in a 1930s published book by Sir W M Flinders Petrie (renowned Egyptologist of the day) . He's now bald. Or the coal black (always in art) grandmother of renowned Queen Hatshepsut.

What a job to move all these artifacts from Egypt to Vegas only to have them back before the casino went under....amazing!

[faraon2012]

AMEN-RA

[rocklover053]

that music is from stargate

[haroof]

All the crap in that "exhibit" were props.

[yehiabelal]

we are egyptians we are great

[lizdcooper]

Hate to burst your bubble, but none of those objects were genuine. The few rare times objects from the tomb have been exhibited outside Egypt, there were very strict controls of the temperature and humidity not to mention security. The outer sarcophagus is under protective glass in the tomb KV62 and has never left Egypt. Most of the genuine objects are considered too fragile to travel, and there's no way in hell any of them would be exhibited in a casino with no protective cases.

[evancortez2]

@lizdcooper - That's very interesting information. I certainly will keep that in the back of my mind next time I'm at the Luxor. Thanks! :)

What nonsense. This cannot be the real artifacts. These have to be replicas. I recently saw this exhibit at the De Young Museum and everything was strictly protected and guarded. There has to be temperature and light controll so as not to degrate the integrity of the artifacts. Go out and see the authentic artifacts, the artistry and cultural relevance will blow you away.

Degrade*****

[evancortez2]

I didn't know I wasn't supposed to video tape, nobody cited me so I went ahead and did it.

[VideoDocR]

@evancortez2 Don't worry man!

I returned today from the Valley of the Kings in luxor, they were taking the camera of anyone who tries to take a photo. I remember they made some girls delete the photos they took with their cell phones.

[XxKiTt3nxX]

@VideoDocR Wouldn't matter anyways. They are Props. The real tutankhamun has never been moved besides a CatScan 2 years ago. And it was done just outside the REAL tomb in a mobile truck. All you would of got on Camera was movie props.

[PismoBeach]

You're a braver man than I.

I was deterred by those signs threatening to confiscate any camera equipment used there.

Glad you video'd it instead - your audio track is far better than anything I would have used.

[MissGreenie]

If all this stuff is at the Luxor Casino - which I have stayed in - it is probably just a mock up of the stuff... probably not real, hence they didn't care if tourists took photos.

[PismoBeach]

You're correct, Miss Greenie, in that most are indeed replicas. But the hotel management did care enough to strongly forbid photography.

[VideoDocR]

@PismoBeach I really hate that they take our right in taking photos. They really don't have the right to do this. I took my fully charged cam with the backup batteries, plus 2 memory cards,,,,and then I was surprised by them collecting the cams on the doors of the Valley of the Kings. They did the same sh*t in the museums.
