I went to the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the de Young museum yesterday.
Within a yard of the doorway, stretching as far as one could see and blocking the entrance to the chamber, stood what to all appearances was a solid wall of gold. For the moment there was no clue as to its meaning, so as quickly as I dared I set to work to widen the hole.

Nice suspension bridge shot by the way.
It’s San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, heading north. We call the fog “nature’s air-conditioning.” Thank you, Grouser!
Hmm…gonna have to check that out. Don’t really like going to San Fran but i can deal with it for a day.
I love this, but now won’t be able to get Steve Martin’s song, Funky Tut, out of my head for days.
Sometimes we don’t get at all and I think even the artist…they just pretend…
TU!…will be back soon….

LOL i think i don’t want to see that esophagus
You mean they have the Oprah Sarcophagus right there too?
Oh, how cool that you got to go. I had heard about that but had totally forgotten, so thanks for the reminder!
I would love to go see that but I literally can’t stand the lines and would have difficulty navigating the crowds.
Ah, thanks for posting the link. Just checked and they’ll be scheduling special “Access Days.” Maybe I will make it after all… Yay!
