I remember viewing the King Tut exhibit in LA, 1978. Most of the objects were small, and the crowd in front of each exhibition case was so large that you were lucky to get a view of the objects. And if you did, it wasn't all that great, and your time to even view was way too short.
Tut was a minor pharaoh, to say the least, and his tomb only leads one to imagine what was in the great pharaohs' tombs before they were raided.
I saw Tut in Chicago in 1977. His solid gold death mask is still the most awesome man made object I've ever seen. I might say otherwise had I seen the solid gold coffin, which has stayed in the Cairo museum. Many of the other items were small beauties, but that mask is still as firmly planted in my memory as seeing the 2nd plane hit on 911.
