Tutankhamun: The Lost Treasures 

In 1922 one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time took place—the finding of King Tut’s tomb. Why was this such a noteworthy find? Where are the thousands of objects he was buried with found today?

Who was King Tut, and why is he the most famous pharaoh of all time?

Join biblical scholar and archaeologist Nate Ramsayer in the footsteps of the great Egyptologists. We’ll investigate exciting pyramids, mummies, and hieroglyphs on this tour of the region known as “the gift of the Nile”—the fascinating land of Egypt.

Doors open at 6:45 for visitors to tour the museum.  A brief business meeting at 7:15 is followed by the talk at 7:30.  Free and open to the public.
