Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and director of the Giza Saqqara Pyramids, announces Dec. 1, 2004 that more than 130 treasures of Tutankhamun (King Tut), other Valley of the Kings tombs and ancient sites will return to the United States on a 27-month tour beginning in Los Angeles on June 16, 2005. The exhibition will include 50 major objects excavated from Tutankhamun's tomb, including his royal diade, the gold crown he likely wore while living between 3,300-3,500 years ago.

I caught the King Tut in the Cairo Museum in the late 80s,, missed it when it was here in the 70s.

That is a great museum.. I enjoyed my visit their immensely.

A Gold Pass or yearly family ticket may be the way to go on this one.

The 4th has to be New York given the first three locations. I would have liked the fourth to be Houston or Dallas.

[eyespysomething]

Somewhere in the south would have been nice. Of course, they probably thought us Christian hick red-staters wouldn't support it.

[NormsRevenge]

I suspect New York as well.

But they should really consider doing Branson or Atlanta

[My2Cents]

Isn't it a tad pathetic what our brains can conjure up? LOL

Anschutz Entertainment Group

I'm pretty sure that's owned by the (conservative) Philip Anschutz.

He's a billionaire who founded Qwest Communications and is a Christian.

Is it swingin' by Dallas?

Thanks for the info. I would love to invest but it looks like it's not publicly traded...
