So I heard the king was going to be in New York for a limited time and I said I have to see this. No I’m not talking about Jay Z, I mean King Tut, the once youngest ruler ever of Egypt. Tut was his nickname. Tut actually stood for Tutankhamun. This 9 year olds 3000 year old treasures are on display at the Discovery Times Square Exposition until January 2, 2011.
The Egyptians were definately Broad & Luxe people. Over 3000 years ago they were brewing beer, making wine & smoking hookahs. They had ships and ports to import and export goods. They also built some of the finest structures in history. No pictures or video are allowed once inside the exhibit, but this is something you should see yourself anyway.
There are 11 rooms of interesting artifacts including Tuts sarcophagus. My only complaints are that King Tuts mummified body was a replica and there were not many gaudy gold cups or jewels. There was a solid gold dagger! Check it out have fun and then walk around the corner to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
