The Dallas engagement of this exhibit provides insight into the life of Tutankhamun and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 B.C.). Tutankhamun was one of the last kings of Egypt’s 18th Dynasty and ruled during a crucial, turmoil-filled period of Egyptian history. All of the treasures in the exhibition are between 3,300 and 3,500 years old and this exhibit marks the first time these artifacts will be seen in the Southwest region. The current exhibition includes an extensive array of more than 130 extraordinary artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites. The return of the exhibition to the United States will include a selection of artifacts that are new to the exhibit and have never before been seen outside of Egypt.
