Event Details
Rollin Phipps, a retired instructor from the University of Texas at Arlington, will uncover the details of one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the past 100 years. In November 1922, archeologist Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tut. Inside the tomb he found some 5,300 artifacts dating back to 1350 BC. These treasures were virtually intact from the time the king was buried. There were statues, jewelry, furniture, and even 6 chariots. It took Carter and his team some 10 years to catalog, conserve, and pack the artifacts - then ship them to the Cairo Museum.
A series of posters and artifacts will also be on display at the library during the month of March courtesy of Rollin Phipps. This program is designed primarily for adults, but children are welcome to attend with an adult.
