Flats in Barcelona

Last weekend I went to a really interesting exhibition called Tutankhamun:  Discover the tomb and its treasure. Tutankhamun is one of the most mysterious persons in the history of Egypt. As a son from the god-king Echnaton and -probably- his famous wife Nofrete, Tutankhamun became pharaoh at the age of seven. He died under uncleared circumstances when he was approximately 19 years old.
His followers deleted his name from all memorials and so he faded into obscurity. He rested undiscovered for almost 3500 years in the Vallery of Kings until Howard Carter discovered his tomb in 1922.

What Howard Carter and his benefactor Lord Carnavon found there was overwhelming. They needed close to ten years to get all the material out of the tomb and gave it a home in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. After a extensive examination, the mummy was returned to the tomb and it is still resting there.

Now, you can withness this fascinating story of the excavation like in a novel. You can also admire the treasures of Tutankhamun in this unique exhibition, the way they have been found by Howard Carter. Three of the four tombs and more that 1000 replications of the most important findings are presenting there.

This exhibition can be visited untill October the fourth at the Barcelona Maritime Museum and it is open from Monday to Friday and Sunday, from 10 am untill 9 pm and on Saturday from 10 am untill 10 pm. Already interested in this exhibition and you are a student? It will only cost you 10 euros!! And.. it is definitely the exhibition of the year! Looking for more information, visit the website of Tutankhamun.
