Tuts bomb was found along I had the opportunity, to with about 33 other royal travel to the Art Gallery of tombs in the Valley of the Ontario in Toronto` recently Kings south of Cairo along with the students 'of the Nile River. In the early South Huron District High 20th century, most experts School. The reasons for my believed that the burial disillusionment, and some of ground had given up all its the students, I think, are secrets. But findings of small obvious. Most of us were items gearing Tut's seal very tired from getting up in convinced Carter that Tut's the wee small hours of the tomb was there. He hunted morning to be in Toronto at until he found it. 9:00 a.m. We were pushed The tomb consisted of four through the exhibit by the different chambers, some numerous school groups, and containing pieces furniture, in less than an hour. we had another containing gold seen everything. You were,parvings jewellery, another 'left with the feeling, "Isthat ' -containing vases and jars of unguents or ointments and finally a burial chamber holding Tut's mummy, which was inside several caskets. Another fact that makes the exhibit we saw in Toronto more fascinating is that this was just a very small portion of the treasures that were discovered. When we were looking at an intricately carved alabaster vase, we should have remembered that Carter uncovered 50 more vases similar to the one that made the trip to North America. Accounts of Carter's thoughts as he broke down walls and sealed doorways are fascinating. Each time he discovered a new chamber, he'd make a small hole in the wall and insert his hand holding a candle. Gold glistened in the candle light. Alas, Carter found that he was not the first to enter Tut's tomb after it was sealed. In the years im- mediately following the young king's death, grave robbers had broken in. This was a common practise in the ancient tombs. The robbers had taken many of the unguents, ointments and embalming fluids that they had considered valuable. Today we wonder why they hadn't taken the gold. The amount of gold was unfathomable. I heard on the radio on my return from the King Tut exhibit that gold is worth $460 an ounce. I had just finished looking at I pounds and pounds of -pure gold. Manyof the items were carvings of Tut or godesses carved of wood and plated with gold. To someone who had never seen gold plated wood before, they looked like wooden carvings that had been spray painted with that gold coloured paint you can buy at the local hardware store, Many of the items were intricately carved alabaster jars. One was in the shape of a lion another carved like an ibex or small deer-like animal with long curling horns. The carving had one horn from a real ibex on it, the other was missing. These jars held precious ointments. There was also an ornate ivory carving used as a head rest. A silver vase was considered valuable, because silver was a scarce commodity, in ancient Egypt. Some of the carvings were abstract, provingthat it isn't a concept peculiar only to modern 'art. Other items were amazingly realistic. A small ornate copy of a large mummy case was very interesting. Several of these miniature mummy cases were used to hold the in- ternal organs of the king. But as expected the gold mask attracted the largest crowds. According to the catalogue, it's "Made of solid gold, and seems to be a faithful depiction of the king: the r ather narrow eyes, fleshy lips, and shape of the nose and chin all agree with the features visible on his mummy," This gold mask, also called the death mask was placed directly over the mummy inside the first of many coffins. As usual with an exhibit attracting such attention, a great deal of commercialism was present. There were the inevitable books and souvenir posters on King Tutankhamun. Jewellery- styled after ,some of the displays could be purchased in all price ranges. You could buy a gold plated charm of Tut for under $10, a silver one for under $20 and a 10 karat gold one for over $100. Wedgewood had a display of china honouring King Tut. One commerative plate of a limited edition could be purchased for about $3,000. Laura Secord featured Tut shaped chocolates and lollypops.

He was sponsored in his quest by the English Earl of Carnarvon. all there is?" The gallery was very crowded and sometimes it was difficult to see a display. Many of the groups surrounding us were elementary school children who lacked interest in what they were seeing. As one teacher said, "I expected to be dazzled." But because of our crowded and rushed tour, without benefit of guide or at least a tape- recorded guide, we weren't. But then when I got home and read the catalogue of the exhibit which I had pur- chased for $8.95, I decided' that it was no one's fault but our own if we weren't "dazzled". An appreciation of King 'rut's treasures from his tomb can only be had, if all the background is con- sidered. I realized that there are very few things that I've seen that are over 3,000 years old. Then consider how well-made and preserved they are. The story of young King Tut is also very interesting. He reigned in Egypt for nine years between 1334 to 1325 B.C. He was only a child of about nine years old when he took the throne, and no cause for his death as a teenager has been determined. As was the custom, all his treasures were put in the tomb with his mummified body to help him through the underworld and in his afterlife. The story of the un- covering of the treasures is even more interesting, I SPRING DANDELIONS? — A bunch of dandelions on the front lawn of Usborne farmer Barry Jeffrey thought it was spring last week.
