Tut returns! (Sort of.)

Brought to you by the same marketing giants that brought you Celine Dion A New Day…Presented By Chrysler, the Eagles, Usher, Fleetwood Mac, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, Dixie Chicks, American Idol and Rod Stewart a few random pieces from Tutankhamun’s tomb equipment and a few other roughly contemporary funerary pieces... Probably worth a look if it’s convenient. Obviously if they can market the sad, sad list above they can make a several-thousand-year-old short, inbred dead guy interesting.

See website for locales and tickets. Supposedly this will bring in a whole mess of money. Maybe this means they’ll get the non-royal mummies out of “storage” in the stairwells in the Egyptian Museum. And maybe get climate control. Or at least an air conditioner. Or a few more placards in Arabic so the Egyptians can actually learn about their own stuff.

Elizabeth is so looking forward to it. Anna is thinking of bringing the whole family up (though I doubt Michael will want to come, but you never know).
