"Philadelphia is launching the King Tut Treasure Tour, a geocaching trail and scavenger hunt connecting 12 Egyptian- themed sites in the city. The launch coincides with National Tourism Week (May 12-20, 2007) and awards prizes for the top finishers. The free game is just one component of the city's king-sized celebration in honor of the boy king. Created by the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC), the activity runs from May 12 through September 30, 2007, the last day of the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition, presented by Mellon Financial Corporation, at The Franklin Institute Science Museum."

Bromová's magic mushroom temple
http://www.praguepost.com/articles/2007/05/02/bromovas-magic-mushroom-temple.php
"In recent years Bromová hasn’t been as visible on the local scene, which is a loss for Czechs, because her work is as provocative as ever. Her current exhibition at Hunt Kastner Artworks, HaHathor’s Handbag, was inspired by her travels in Egypt, and in particular by the mythical goddess Hathor. In 2003 Bromová (born in Prague in 1966) was traveling around Egypt, where, at the ancient temple of Dender, she was struck by the visual and spiritual mystery of Hathor, a goddess of fertility and earthly pleasures who to this day has devoted followers. There was a relief on a stone that especially captivated her: It showed a woman carrying something resembling an amphora, but of an unusual shape — it resembled a woman’s handbag, and looked as if it had mushrooms sprouting out of its sides.
This image became the basis of five digitally manipulated psychedelic self-portraits, or inner journeys. Bromová originally exhibited them in Sweden in 2005–06 as part of a traveling group exhibition titled “Content — the Handbag in Contemporary Art.”
