Pierced ears. Culturally appropriate for a wealthy individual at that time.

The eye makeup was common at the time, especially for royals.

By modern standards, most ancient males were in drag.

All of us had a classmate in grammar school who had a "baseball head". At my age, none had makeup though.
...Tut into drag?.......hmmmmm....
This cat looks like a full blown homosexual to me........sorry.

I think that's an earring hole. They have the jewelry to scale it.
So Tut was a drag queen doing Streisand? Cool.

*choke* *sputter* *guffaw*

Oh well, the monitor needed cleaning anyway.

We get kind of jaded about technology because it's friggin everywhere now, but think about this.... You could be looking at the actual face of King Tut. I mean, that's the first time anyone's seen that guy in a bajillion years. Cool.

Didn't they find some dinosaur's soft tissue preserved somewhere recently? Crichton has never been that far off with his stuff. Despite the mass-market approach, he can come across as downright prophetic at times.

If you live nearby to one of the stops or can travel, you have a rare opportunity to see some of the stuff from the tomb.

Screw that, I stood in that goddamn line over 12 hours and then had to break into the garage to get the car back. :p

I think the reason that they did the eye makeup was to imitate cats' eyes. The cat was sacred and worshipped as a diety. It was punishable by death to take a cat out of Egypt, they mummified them, families shaved their eyebrows in mourning when a pet cat died, and there were cat graveyards in the city of Bubastis (Bast being the Cat Goddess).
