This is moi in front of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. I was lucky enough to be invited to view the tomb on a special pass issued to the young daughter of my friend Lisa Giddy in the Spring of 2005. Chloe was allowed to bring 5 people along with her. The truly wonderful part of the experience was that we were the only people in the tomb! Amazing!!

Dear Marie I have sat in King Tut's tomb many years ago. I am saddened to learn that his body is to placed on exhibition and in this regard submitted the following to June Chambers (BBC Reporting Religion)
ReplyDeletehis ancient body now on view
displayed to commoners
me
you
would we take of royal line
one who died in recent time
open coffin place on bier
for all to gaze
some would leer
sacrilege the call would rise
unto heaven's very skies
why then treat this royal thus
admission charge - perhaps a plus
respect is due unto this frame
king recorded indeed by name
yes we hear the hue and cry
these do protest -
yes within we die if we condone
be it forceful
or just leave alone
the ghoulish seekers will surely pay
alas this will win the day
however for me my view is plain
coffin cedar
bury again
let his spirit range where it will
kill the queue discard the till
ps please pass my regards to Lisa Nanoo Chloe and Christian
