At the beginning of the school year, I read that the King Tutankhamun (KING TUT) exhibit was going to be at the Atlanta Civic Center until May. I knew that the boys and I were going to Atlanta to visit in April and and I decided that we would take advantage of this great opportunity while we were there!! The exhibition was great!! We were inches away from real heiroglyphics (not in glass cases) that we could have reached out and touched - if the guards would not have arrested us first. HA! There were real sarcophagus', huge statues and not to mention the gold . . . aaaaah the gold!! It was beautiful. I was in awe to be in the presence of such rich history and so thankful to be able to expose my children (and nephew) to such a once in a lifetime cultural event!!While both the boys liked King Tut, I think Carter was much more impressed than Cooper. However, Cooper really enjoyed the "Egypt 3D" movie that we watched after visiting the exhibit. Part of the movie, Egypt 3D, shows the mummy of Ramses II or Ramses the Great. Ramses the Great is known as the Pharoah of the Exodus. Therefore, his mummy is probably the only face we will ever see from the Bible. HOW COOL!!
Overall, the trip was awesome!! I am so impressed that Carter and Cooper remembered a lot from our studies of Ancient Egypt and are still associating things we see and read to our studies and our visit to the exhibit!! BLESSED ARE WE!!
Don't they look Egyptian?
Cooper . . . walks like an Egyptian!!
Carter . . . walks like an Egyptian!!
