Tutini? Blasphemy!


Am I allowed to admit that I think I am the only person in Philadelphia—p’raps, in the country—that doesn’t get all weak-kneed over King Tut?

Yes, the famed King Tut exhibition teaches us folks from the US of A about the burial rites of Ancient Eqypt. But it doesn’t tell you much more about the LIFE of the Ancient Egyptians. It doesn’t admit that we are looking at desiccations of a grave. It doesn’t mention that you will be cursed once you step outside the bookstore. Am I completely thick skinned or am I just wise enough to see through multimillion-dollar marketing?
