    Colossal Mortuary Temple Statue of King Tut (Thebes)
    Hi, I would like to know a few things about King Tut. I mean I've read many things about him it's just that... well...

    What would be something in the environment that performs a similar function as King Tut?
    And how does it compare and contrast to King Tut?


    *It can be a statue, building, municipal object, architectural element, shop display... anything in this type--- but it has to be something physical, somewhere you can go to and experience it, investigate it, and take a picture of it.

    I have to write 5-9 pg. paper about him for ART 130. I would like some ideas please.

    Thank you for your help.

    Yes I have... I found a lot of information but non that would actually help me in having a similar function to king tut. I was thinking of maybe doing a president or... see I don't really know. It has to have similar functions and it can be ANYTHING that can be located in the world.

    During his time Tut was far more than a president. Have you considered King Ramesses

    Egyptian Kings (Pharaohs)

    Do you want to stay in Egypt? I'm not sure I understand your needs or your question...

    BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Tut's gem hints at space impact

    In 1996 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Italian mineralogist Vincenzo de Michele spotted an unusual yellow-green gem in the middle of one of Tutankhamun's necklaces.

    The jewel was tested and found to be glass, but intriguingly it is older than the earliest Egyptian civilisation.

    Working with Egyptian geologist Aly Barakat, they traced its origins to unexplained chunks of glass found scattered in the sand in a remote region of the Sahara Desert.

    But the glass is itself a scientific enigma. How did it get to be there and who or what made it?

    The BBC Horizon programme has reported an extraordinary new theory linking Tutankhamun's gem with a meteor.

    Sky of fire
    An Austrian astrochemist Christian Koeberl had established that the glass had been formed at a temperature so hot that there could be only one known cause: a meteorite impacting with Earth. And yet there were no signs of a suitable impact crater, even in satellite images

    You are going to have serious problems with this assignment if you continue to think that your subject is King Tut. King Tut and the Oriental Institute's colossal mortuary temple statue of King Tut are two very different things.
