Tutankhamun – Anatomy Of An Exhibition

Tutankhamun – Anatomy Of An Exhibition

Barbara and Colin at Tutankhamun's Tomb, the Valley Of The The Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings is probably one of the best-known pieces of land in the world.  Almost everyone has heard of the “boy-king” and on a Nile cruise it is probably one of the most anticipated visits during the whole week.
