That is a face that only a mother could love. Everybody is all excited about being able to see King Tut's face for the first time, but really all it does for me is make me think of that song Steve Martin did in 1978. That and I don't really want to go look at dead people all that much. But I guess if you are the kind of person that likes the viewing at funerals, then this exhibit may be for you. All you have to do is go to Egypt. Or you could wait for the encore tour of his stuff to come back to the States in the Fall of 2008. Until then, this will have to tide you over.
And the short answer about how he got so funky? That would be the Mummification.

Actually he looks better than I have viewed. After all, he looks pretty good for 3000. And I do remember Steve Martin and SNL when they were good.
You're right, he does look good for 3000 but I still don't want to look at dead people as a general rule. As for the song it always come to mind anytime people talk about King Tut. Is that just me?
How do we know that's the real King Tut? All mummies look alike.
I guess the other mummies can tell the difference?
