Exhibition: Replicas of Tutankhamun

Inside El Paso

The gold tomb and large chariot are incredible to see. It's not hard to imagine that at one time they carried the king of Egypt.

Those artifacts are part of "Tut's Treasures: Re-Creating the Tomb," showcased at Lynx Exhibits.

The exhibit features historical artifacts of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen, better known as King Tut, which date to 3000 B.C.

The exhibit begins with a "time machine," a 25-seat full motion simulator ride through Ancient Egypt.

It is followed by a view of artifacts that belonged to King Tut, who reigned for nine years and died at age 18. His tomb was found in 1933 and is considered the most complete uncovered in Egypt.

The exhibit has 126 reproductions of Tut's treasures.

See the above for more, including a photograph of some of the replicas.
