"Despite the exhibit's being King Tut Lite — like seeing the Grateful Dead sans Jerry Garcia — pregnant questions result. What the hell is unguent (is it snortable?), and why did they keep it in a calcite vessel? For that matter, what the hell is calcite? It's fascinating to learn about ancient burial practices, such as the removal of organs, like giblets from a Thanksgiving turkey, which were then mummified and placed in separate containers to be protected by the Four Sons of Horus. You also learn about forensic anthropology. How did Tut die? Despite mummy x-ray exams in the '60s and '70s and a CT Scan last year, it's not clear. He had several fractures — a broken ankle and ribs and a severe knee break — that may have come from an accident or, more intriguing, a battle."
