Tutankhamun, DVD, 2007, Official Exhibition DVD, by National Geographic, New

Description: Tutankhamun, DVD, 2007 (Reissue Version), Official DVD Sold at the Exhibition, by National Geographic New ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN PRIVILEGED TO VIEW AT FIRST HAND the magnificent treasures found in the tomb of the Egyptian boy pharoah Tutankhamun will probably never forget the feeling of awe and wonder at the experience - the exquisite workmanship of the objects placed in the tomb for the young king's use in the afterlife, their beauty in concept, form and line, but, above all, the direct connection with an ancient civilization that we can study but never really know. Most of us will not be lucky enough to see these wonderful objects close up - but a DVD like this is a very good second-best. THIS OFFICIAL DVD IS A COMPANION TO a wildly popular exhibition of Tutankhamun treasures in the United States some years ago. Its color photography by Kenneth Garrett provide stunning illustrations for the DVD by Dr. Zahi Hawass who was Egypt's former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs. It was a head-shaking exhibition - an amazing display of the workmanship and artistic genius that flourished when the young pharoah - the King Tut of popular culture - ruled briefly from 1332 to 1323 BC. TUTANKHAMUN'S TOMB HAD LAIN UNDISTURBED for thousands of years until it was discovered in 1922, nearly intact, by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. The discovery and the dramatic opening of the tomb were international sensations at the time and they sparked a fascination with ancient Egypt that has never declined. In 2010, DNA testing confirmed that King Tut was the son of a pharoah whose mummy is thought to be that of Akhenaten. THIS DVD IS BRAND NEW, STILL IN THE WRAPPER, AND WOULD be a wonderful addition to a video that values the flow of history and the evolution of art.
