When I travelled to New York last week to open the King Tut exhibit, I was very impressed by the replica mummy of Tutankhamun. The person who made the replica is very talented, and the audience would never suspect that this is not the real mummy. The replica fits in very well with the exhibit room that shows the discoveries we have made about the family of Tutankhamun. The room depicts his father, Akhenaten, and his mother, as well as the two fetuses found in his tomb. The exhibit also provides information about how he died. Everyone who visits this exhibit will have a good educational experience about ancient Egypt.

This photo shows myself and my dear friend Andy Numhauser, who is the senior Vice President of the Arts and Exhibitions company that helped create the exhibit. Here we are discussing this incredible replica mummy. We decided that after the exhibit is over, we will take this replica and display it in the Akhenaten Museum that we have finished building in Minya, near the ancient site of Tell el-Amarna. Inside the museum, we will have one room dedicated to the family of Akhenaten and show the family relationships.
