King TutIf you are anywhere near Midtown Atlanta on Sunday, which you always are if you recently moved into a luxury new condo in Atlanta at the Astoria at the Aramore, the make sure you stop by the High Museum of Art for the grand opening of The First Emperor. This highly anticipated exhibit is finally upon us, and you can be among the first to see one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Of course, this extraordinary exhibit is not the only historical attraction opening in Atlanta this weekend, only a few blocks from the High Museum is the Atlanta Civic Center, who recently welcomed King Tut and many of this treasures. On display at the civic center are 50 objects from the tomb of Tutankhamun, including the gold sandals that adorned the mummies feet and a beautifully adorned canopic jar that mummified his internal organs. King Tut is not the only ancient ruler of Egypt in this exhibit. Also on display is Khefren, whose great pyramid is the only remaining structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world and Hatshepsut, the queen who became king as well as other significant figures. If you are a history buff, then these are two exhibits you won’t want to miss.
