Tutankhamun and The Golden Age of The Pharaohs

King Tut pendant

King Tutankhamun has come back to San Francisco. First seen here in 1979, the boy king has returned to the de Young Museum in a brand new exhibit featuring 130 pieces – jewelry, statues, masks, gold objects and of course that famous golden sarcophagus.

“Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs will provide insight into the life of Tutankhamun and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 BC). All of the treasures in the exhibition are more than 3,000 years old.”

Gorgeous!
