From June 27, 2009 - March 28, 2010, King Tutankhamun's treasures will be on display. I saw many of these artifacts years ago in Southern California, but somehow, I am enticed to see it again as an adult. His popularity is partly due to the fact that it is the most complete Ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found. Dr. Carter made a spectacular find in 1922 of which many have seen and continue to see. For more info, see deYoung museum. Tickets can be bought at Costco for a discount which includes the audio tour and is definitely worthwhile!For books for the entire family on ancient Egypt, check out some of these:

I agree with most of your points, however some need to be discussed further, I will hold a small discussion with my buddies and maybe I will ask you some suggestion shortly.
