Wordless Wednesday #8

I never realised until I actually saw this, that I'd never seen an image of the back of Tutankhamen. If you want to see the front go here. *grin*

I don't think I'd even given the back a thought! Thanks for sharing x x

I started back to front. I think entering the back one first was a great decision.

I almost went when it was in Los Angeles, but it didn't work out. I would love to see all of the items.

I was lucky enough to see the museum tour back in the 70's. It was overwhelming!

Hm never thought about the back before. Extraordinary!

I saw the Exhibit back in the 90s at the Luxur. They were kind enough to recreate the rooms and everything. It was amazing.

That's lovely. Was that his hairstyle? Wonder what story the cryptography tells?

I had never seen the back either. The designs on the shoulder pieces are pretty cool.
