No man it's cool, I love the Aten, don't hurt me.

For like two minutes the LJ headers were showing the Halloween "undead journal" art. That... was perplexing.

Um, anyway, I forget whatever I was going to post about now. This is going to be frickin awesome and _hannelore is going to come see it with me before I/we leave. The 18th dynasty is leet in so many ways. I love the naysayers who are always like "meh Tut was a minor king!". Minor, right, the politics surrounding his ascension, reign, and death were totally MINOR.

I have a cold again.

I saw that (or a very similar exhibition) at the O2 (the Millennium Dome) in Greenwich last year. It was excellent!

Mind you, I also saw the one they brought to the British Museum in 1973 or 74 (?), when I was a student - Mum and Dad and my younger sister came down and we left Dad watching cricket in the hotel (!) and queued for over an hour to get in; but that one had the real headpiece from the coffin, where this one's just got the 'coffinette'.

I expect it's going to be packed, I'm going to buy tickets as soon as they're available.

A few years back there was an exhibit of Mayan artifacts at the Legion of Honor Museum, which I went to with very_improbable. It was a long wait to get in, which surprised us at first because it wasn't even a "big name" exhibit. Then we realized how many of the people were Latino, and were coming to see their own history featured. I thought that was pretty awesome and didn't mind waiting at all. :)
