Exhibition Hub’s latest show, “Tutankhamun: His [.fow1-2]Tomb[.fow1-2] and His [.fow1-3]Treasures[.fow1-3]” is sure to grab the world’s interest with the boy king, with more than 1,000 accurate [.fow1-4]artifacts[.fow1-4] and [.fow1-2]tombs[.fow1-2] that tell the story of his short rule, his royal life, and beautiful [.fow1-2]tomb[.fow1-2].

The [.fow1-1]exhibit[.fow1-1] is now open to the public and expected to run at least through the end of the year, Exhibition Hub Executive Producer John Zaller said.

More than 25,000 tickets have already been sold, officials said.

At the media day/opening reception, Egyptologist Dr. Melinda Hartwig, an Emory professor who is a special expert for the exhibition, said the famous king “is never going to run out of gas.”

“His life and death [grab] our imagination like no other ancient ruler,” Hartwig said. “This [.fow1-1]exhibit[.fow1-1] takes you through Egypt and provides depth and [information about] his life.”

Tutankhamun, who became ruler at age nine in 1332 BC, is believed to have died nine years later. Hartwig said medical tests showed that Tut had a number of serious medical problems, which most likely lead to his death.

His extremely fancy [.fow1-2]tombs[.fow1-2], which contained more than 5,000 objects, were about the size of three small New York apartments. The [.fow1-1]exhibit[.fow1-1] shows the first room that the British explorer Howard Carter discovered in 1922 after more than five years of searching.

The [.fow1-1]exhibit[.fow1-1], which took more than six years to create, then "opens" the contents of the [.fow1-2]tomb[.fow1-2] and provides interesting details about the king’s life and the ancient traditions of Tut and his family.

“There is so much information on European and Greek culture in this [.fow1-1]exhibit[.fow1-1],” Zaller said. “This [.fow2-1]civilization[.fow2-1] was so advanced yet was mixed with the same political [drama] that we see today.”

The most exciting part of the show is certainly the king’s [.fow1-2]tomb[.fow1-2], which was actually inside four separate [.fow2-2]coffins[.fow2-2]. Visitors are provided with headphones and guides that provide additional information as they travel from room to room.

“I can see this as an experience that children and their grandparents will [both find interesting],” Zaller said. “This atmosphere is so... welcoming to people of every religion, every race, and every walk of life.”
