Artifacts from King Tut's tomb are going on tour. The artifacts will tour next year. This is to mark the upcoming 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Egyptian pharaoh's resting place.

The exhibit is called ="KING TUT: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh." It will go on view at the Los Angeles museum in March. It will be there for 10 months. That's according to the California Science Center. Then it will head to Europe in January 2019. It will be part of a 10-city international tour.

The museum says the exhibition represents the largest collection of artifacts and gold from Tutankhamun's tomb ever to go on public display outside of Egypt. It says 40 percent of the items are leaving Egypt for the first and last time. Then they will go on permanent display. They will be at a new museum being built near the Giza Pyramids. They are in Egypt.

King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922. That was more than 3,000 years after his death.

King Tuts tomb was found over 3,000 years after his death. The artifices should leave Egypt because the only people who see Tuts tomb artifacts are the people who go to Egypt. Egypt is not a safe place and people should be able to see it all over the world to all shapes and sizes. Kids and adults.

I think it is a good idea for King Tuts tomb to leave Egypt so more people can see it without having to travel all the way to Egypt.

I think it is very cool that they have artifacts from this ancient body.
Iam going to answer the question that this article asks and my answer is that i don't even think they should leave Egypt because they where found there and they belong there.

I don't think the artifacts should leave Egypt for as long of a period of time as 10 months in one city, state, or country. I think they should visit different countries all around the world in "one year" rather than 10 months out 12 months.
