Tutankhamun Exhibition at the Luxor - Las Vegas, NV - 2007

In 1922, archeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of the previously unknown Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. In November 2007, Tut's sarcophagus and other choice items from the tomb was put on display at the Luxor hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and I was lucky enough to have viewed it. Here now is that video. In the video you will see, as Howard Carter described them upon discovery, "wonderful things!"

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

@RupertDCD27 - No longer, I was there 3 weeks ago and it's been replaced by the Titanic exhibit...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

What's the name of the stargate track music?

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

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.

All the crap in that "exhibit" were props.

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.
