Kathleen and I are going to see Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia. Kathleen’s alumni association from Middlebury College arranged a group tour.
Febe Armanios an assistant professor of history at Middlebury will give a presentation on what we will see. Her focus is on Middle Eastern history and comparative religious history.
This is the fourth and final U.S. city in which the exhibit will appear. The last time the treasures of King Tut’s tomb where exhibited in this country was from 1976-1979.
