Archaeology Magazine online is offering a nice interview article with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Egyptian Art curator.  The Met's got a new exhibit focused on "Tutankhamun's Funeral," complete with lots & lots of morbid little leftovers from the embalming process.

Whether you are a true Tut-ophile or not (and I'm generally not . . . my favorite pharaoh is another 18th Dynasty notable,  Hatshepsut), this article offers a concise rundown of events leading up to the discovery of that famous tomb.
