AAT Hosts King Tut Trip
February 25th, AAT hosted a trip to the Franklyn Institute to see the "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of Pharaohs" exhibit. VP of Scholarship, Amanda Shertz, organized the trip for the chapter. Chapter President, Andy Davis, Chapter Advisor, Jane Sharrow, AAT members, Ed Floor and Zack Rothwell, Honorary Member, Steve Snyder, 1 Cecil Student, and 3 Cecil County residents, joined Amanda and her husband and son for this trip.
All 12 who attended the exhibit had a great time, and were amazed by the exhibit. After seeing the exhibit, the attendees discussed their favorite pieces in the exhibit and discussed Tutankhamun's roll in Egyptian history through his rule, restructuring of the old religion that the former pharaoh changed, and his mysterious death before his 20th birthday.
"The exhibit was incredible." says Chapter President, Andy Davis, "The artifacts that were on display really gave insight to Egyptian culture three thousand years ago. What you see in the movies is nothing compared to what you see and learn in this exhibit. I highly recommend that you pend the extra six dollars and get the audio tour. We did, and it enhanced our experience with this exhibit. It was a perfect example of the "Gold, Gods, and Glory: The Global Dynamics of Power" 2006 - 2008 Phi Theta Kappa Honor Study Topic. It had Gold, a Religious aspect, and the Glory that is Tut."
Andy remembers when the Tut exhibit toured beck in the 70's, "I wanted to see the exhibit when it came to New York when I was a kid, but my family could not afford the trip. I am glad that I had the chance to see it this time around. It was well worth the wait, and was an educational experience that I will not soon forget. If you are interested in Ancient Egypt, I highly recommend this exhibit."
