Notice how the 25 foot statue of Anubis (Egyptian god of the dead) was paraded in front of Lady Liberty for the camera? Also, notice the suitcase strategically placed at the feet of her statue? God of the Dead? Suitcase? Coincidence? I think not.

Get ready to walk like an Egyptian - King Tut is on his way back to the Big Apple.
Tickets went on sale Tuesday for an exhibit of artifacts from the boy pharaoh's tomb, opening April 23 at the Discovery Times Square Exposition.
To mark the occasion, former Mayor Ed Koch welcomed a 25-feet-tall, black-and-gold statue of the jackal-headed god Anubis, which floated on a barge past the Statue of Liberty to arrive at the South Street Seaport.

WOW!
Thanks Civ for the Ping. Thank as well to mentor2K.
This is very exciting news! I saw the original King Tut Exhibit at the Met when it first opened here in NY. It was incredible, mind blowing,not enough superlatives in the English language to describe.
I would advise anyone who has the chance to come to NY and see these incredible treasures. This is a once in a lifetime chance and is well worth a special trip. NYC is a terrific place to visit, for adults, or with your kids and grandkids.
If anyone would like trip advice, just FReepmail me, and I will be glad to help.
Fortunately, we live here, and I am going to get tickets and go.
Thanks Cincinna! Also, if you go, try to post details for all of us.
