If you live near Dallas, Texas, or plan to visit anytime between October and May, order tickets now to see Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of Pharaohs, which is coming to the Dallas Museum of Art. The exhibition, which drew about four million visitors in its previous U.S. run, includes more than 130 artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites. This particular exhibition will include items never before seen outside of Egypt.

Set to open October 3, 2008, this exhibition provides insight into the life of the boy king, Tutankhamun, and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555–1305 B.C.). All of the treasures in the exhibition are between 3,300 and 3,500 years old.

Also, if you want a good laugh here's a link to Steve Martin's King Tut routine (You remember it, don't you? Born in Arizona, moved to Babylonia...Buried with his donkey, he's my favorite honky, King Tut...) as well as the witty editorial, "The King and I," which Martin wrote about it all in 2004 for The New York Times.
