I stood in line for 6 or 7 hours in New Orleans to see the exhibit. It is truly amazing. The craftsmanship throughout the exhibit is without equal and truly fitting for a king
My Funerary Mask poster faded and is no more
A number of years ago the artifacts were displayed here in Los Angeles and I went to see them. I agree they are magnificent.
The preservation of those items by the desert climate is equally astonishing. Things like child-sized royal furniture and tiny puzzle-like toys; still bright and without a trace of rot or corrosion. It's hard to believe that what you're looking at is thousands of years old.
