A new urban legend is born. Apparently, a woman visiting the Tutankhamen exhibition berated a security guard because Tutankhamen is not alive!!!
The disappointed lady turned up at the exhibition expecting to see the millennia-old Pharoah being interviewed about "his works of art." She had hoped to ask King Tut how the jewels were inlaid in the ornate funeral mask.
Upon hearing that the boy king had been dead for thousands of years the lady, described as being in her late thirties, took it personally and hurled torrents of abuse at the hapless guard.
Tut may be dead but he still has more sense than at least one visitor to the exhibition.
Are there really people that barmy? Never be surprised.
