King Tut photos from Gail
NY's King Tut exhibit was inspiring enough to make me long to visit Egypt. The artifacts on display were incredibly wonderful. That most were approximately 3,200 years old was mind-boggling, and the volcanic glass used in the intricate golden pieces was as interesting as the gemstones. Worth a visit and humbling to think that the ancients could do such beautiful work. My modern perspective on their naiveté for the afterlife - some may look on people in our era's beliefs someday as being similarly foolish. Thanks Gail, for taking the photos. We also visited the NY library (I took a pic of a vestibule god - the only one that came out) rather than spend only a couple of hours at the Met which we'll see next time - really want to spend a whole day there and at the Cloisters. Looking forward to viewing the bamboo exhibit on the roof.
