Since the

hearts of people around the world.
"Buried with him were treasures beyond the imagination,
giving us a glittering glimpse into the past," said Zahi
Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of
Antiquities and director of the Giza and Saqqara Pyramids.

learn firsthand
about the life and magic of this ancient
monarch."

Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs will
feature striking objects from some of the most important
rulers throughout 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history,
from the 4th Dynasty into the Late Period (about 2600 B.C. –
660 B.C.). Derived from a variety of contexts, including
temples and royal and private tombs, many of these artifacts
have never before visited the United States. The exhibition

and more than 70 artifacts representing other pharaohs and
notables, along with the latest scientific research about King
Tut. The storyline will focus on the splendor of the Egyptian

"Real Pirates: The Untold Story of the Whydah from Slave Ship to
Pirate Ship," a new exhibit organized by National Geographic and
Arts and Exhibitions International (AEI) LLC, tells the
compelling story of the Whydah, a real pirate ship that began as
a slave ship, and the stories of the diverse people whose lives
converged on the vessel.
Sunk in a fierce storm off the coast of Cape Cod, Mass., in
April 1717, the Whydah was located by underwater explorer Barry
Clifford in 1984, becoming the first fully authenticated pirate
ship to be discovered in American waters.
The exhibition, with more than 200 treasures recovered from the
wreck, will provide visitors with an unprecedented glimpse into
unique economic, political and social circumstances of the early
18th-century Caribbean.
Opens next: May 31 - November 2, 2008:
The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA.
