"The most famous of all Egyptian burial sites, Tutankhamun's tomb, has been replicated with a 3D exact facsimile in a project led by a British artist in order to protect the original site from the ravages of mass tourism. Adam Lowe's company Factum Arte used digital photography, 3D laser scanning and printers to precisely recreate the murals on the walls of the burial chamber, depicting scenes from the young pharaoh's journey to the afterlife. The replica tomb was so accurate that some Tutankhamun experts among the Egyptologists and dignitaries burst into tears while attending the opening in Luxor today…" From here link Amicalement Armand

Imagine how much more intriguing a display like this could be to young people than a row of lucite boxed artifacts! A renactment of the find and subsequent discoveries. "Things. Wonderful things."
