King Tut

Yeah, I know it’s all a lot of hype, but for some reason, I’ve always wanted to go see the King Tut Exhibition. I would say that it’s probably one of the top 50 things I’d like to do before I die, you know, the (before I kick the) bucket list. And a couple of weekends ago, I was able to go see in at the Dallas Museum of Art.

My wife is the one who found it. We were going up to Dallas for a Scott Sigler Book Signing and she was checking to see what else was going on that weekend when she came across King Tut. She didn’t know it was on my bucket list, but she suggested it, thinking that it would be something our 13-year-old daughter would like.

So, we jumped at the idea, and I have to say that it was well worth the time and effort to go see it. They recommend that you allow 90 minutes for the tour, but we were there over four hours. It was awesome!

There were things I’d never seen before. The craftsmanship of the artifacts was incredible, and I have to say that it was a bit overwhelming. It’s in Dallas until May before it goes on to other cities. If you have a chance to see it, I would recommend it.

And now, I’ve got to find something else to replace the King Tut Exhibition on my top 50 bucket list. Maybe The Great Wall…oh wait, that one’s already there.
