TUTANKHAMUN COLLECTION
Ten years in
the making, from the artisans of the Pharaonic Village
in Giza, Egypt and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this
dazzling collection of reproductions of Tutankhamun’s
legendary treasures recreates the richest archaeological
find of all time. While the experience of seeing the
original artifacts is unsurpassable, the sheer number of
replicas in the Tutankhamun: “Wonderful Things” from the
Pharaoh’s Tomb collection far exceeds the number of
original objects from the tomb which have been allowed
to leave the Egyptian Museum for view abroad. Most of
the more impressive artifacts will never be seen in the
U.S. but for replicas of this quality.

THE ROSETTA
STONE COLLECTION
After 2000
years an ancient, forgotten language comes to life
again. The ancient Rosetta Stone has been cast directly
from the original by the British Museum exclusively for
this spectacular traveling exhibition. The history, the
discovery, the translation - all accompanied by rare,
authentic artifacts from Ancient Egypt and the Cradle of
Civilization.
These rare original relics
have survived from the very dawning of civilization.
From ancient Sumer to the Holy Land, the eternally
compelling mystery of the sudden appearance and rapid
progression of urban life is traced through pottery,
cylinder seals, cuneiform tablets, bronze and marble
sculpture, currency, and weaponry from its distant
origins in early Mesopotamia to Canaan, Egypt,
Phoenicia, Greece, Palestine, Israel, and Rome.

THE ROSWELL EXHIBIT
Persistent
claims of a crashed flying saucer in the New Mexico
desert near the town of Roswell during the summer of
1947 have long since found their way into American
legend. Firsthand testimony by credible eyewitnesses,
both military and civilian, has come to light after 50
years of silence, insisting that the legend is fact --
from the crash and subsequent alien autopsy of one of
the alleged casualties to a dark and massive cover-up
instituted by President Truman which many believe
persists to this day. Large digital photographs on
canvas, streaming slide shows of UFOs through the ages.
