Even though I already knew that the famous golden death mask was back in Egypt, I was still secretly hoping to see something utterly splendid and bedazzlingly shiny. Preferably lots of sparkly, shiny, golden things.
There were some shiny things to see, and some were even golden, but I had hoped for a bit more bedazzlement.
I wasn't very excited about this item in the gift shop - a 'King Tut tissue box holder'.
Yes, really. 
But wait, there's more: you pull the tissues out from a hole under the pharoah's nose - in the style of an ancient priest preparing the body for mummification! How much fun is that?!
All of this glamour and historical re-enactment could be yours for only £20!
