King Tut exhibit at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art. Apparantly I saw this show when it was in San Francisco in the late 70s, but I was a smoosh at the time. They didn't have the golden sarcophagus, but the audio tour was narrated by

- Parking space 2d339
- The Book of the Celestial Cow is an Egyptian funerary text--I bought a sacred cow magnet!
- The magical brick of Thutmosislh (1400-1390 BCE) has the following inscription, ddressed to the demons of the north: "You who come to pull my hair, I will not allow you to pull my hair."
- Horus the elder is a funerary god, the falcon is one of his symbols. Here be Horus:
- Faience is blue stuff that the ancient Egyptians used
