DENVER AIRPORT 2 JUNE 2010
The big King Tut exhibit doesn't open at the Denver Art Museum until the end of the month, but the first piece is already on display, standing tall outside Denver International Airport.

It is an exhibition of royal artifacts thousands of years in the making and it's never been seen in Denver before and will never be again -- "Tutankhamun the Golden King and the Great Pharaoh."

One of the biggest sculptures from a new exhibit of ancient Egypt was unveiled Wednesday at the airport to kickoff the event. In a mere 27 days Denver will go Tut crazy.

The installation of the 7-ton, 26-foot tall statue of Anubis took place at the south end of the DIA terminal. Anubis was the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife.

"It's an exhibition of about 100 objects, both from King Tut's tomb, and 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. And it really walks people through what pharaohs' life was like, what families' life was like; and then you'll actually go down some stairs and into a space that's basically a replicated tomb of King Tutankhamun and see about 50 or so objects from the King's tomb," Kristy Bassuener with the Denver Art Museum said.

The polyurethane and steel structure took some time and effort to build. The wind blew it around and a crane got stuck in the gravel, but Anubis would not be denied.

"These objects are incredibly important. They very rarely travel outside of Egypt. They are priceless treasures from long ago," Bassuener said. "This is the first time King Tut's treasures have ever been to the Rocky Mountain region."

And now with Anubis in place the countdown begins toward a 6-month, once-in-a-lifetime exhibit filled with treasures never before seen and never to be seen again.

The statue of Anubis is right in front of the windows at the south end of the main terminal at DIA.

The exhibit opens on June 29 and runs through Jan. 9.

  • WHY would they want to place the statue of Anubis out of the Denver Airport? Thinking about the depictions upon the murals within the airport, the Masonic stone stand that has a declaration engraved upon it claiming the Denver International Airport to be the "New World Airport and the little demons popping out of the suitcases situated above the metal detectors I become highly suspicious of their TRUE purpose for putting the statue there.

  • Overlord of the under World (Luciferian Worshipers / Freemasons).

  • Ja,ja..

    Da setzen sie den Ägyptischer Gott der Totenriten..

    Schon seltsam wenn man bedenkt wie es in dem Flughafen an den Wänden aussieht mit den Botschaften...

    Sehr merkwürdig..
