... that was at Philadelphia's Franklin Institute this summer, you'll be fascinated by this story from USA Today. It explains how preservationists are conserving the golden boy's mummy for future generations and putting his face on display for public view for the first time.
The Egyptian tourist board is hoping that the boy king whose intrigue outlasted his life by thousands of years will draw visitors to Luxor like never before.
Of course, I've never needed another reason to visit Egypt (it's on my places-to-go list). With the pyramids (the only remaining of the original seven wonders of the world), the Nile, the markets, food, history, culture... well, there's more than enough reasons to visit.
Although it would be kind of cool to say you had an audience with a king.
Even if he has been dead 3,000 years.
