Great
interest in ancient Egyptian civilization arose in modern times following
Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition to Egypt in 1798. The Egyptian museum
houses the largest and most important material sources on ancient
Egyptian civilization. The most important monuments in the Egyptian
museum are the treasures of King Tutankhamon. In 1980 the treasures
of King Tut were displayed in San Francisco. After this trip to San
Francisco the Egyptian Authorities decided the treasures would not
leave the Egyptian museum. Fortunately the Egyptian Art Center, a
private Egyptian Company, began a project to produce exact replicas
of the King Tut Treasures to be displayed outside of Egypt. These
wonderful treasures have been displayed in Japan, Canada, and the
USA. Now Capitol International Productions has made arrangements with
The Egyptian Art Center to bring these incredible artifacts to your
event.

SECOND COFFIN OF KING TUTANKHAMUN
The
second of three anthropoid coffins. The larger one in its original
place in Thebes. Attributes as on the innermost coffin. Wood coated
with gold and inlaid with polychrome glass. It is hard to believe
the amount of work required in order completing this coffin. The
carved wood was first overlaid with sheet gold on a thin layer of
plaster. Narrow strips of gold, placed on the edge, where then soldered
to the sheet gold in order to form cells in which small pieces of
colored glass, fixed with cement were laid. The technique is known
as Egyptian
cloisonne work.
