“"Wonderful things." So said Howard Carter when the archaeologist was asked what he saw upon peeking into the just-opened tomb of boy-king Tutankhamun. Almost a century later and many world tours over, King Tut's wonderful things — enough beautifully crafted, jewel-encrusted, and gilded loot to last a dynastic ruler through the afterlife and beyond — still hold their allure. Perhaps, in these tough economic times, nothing seems simultaneously more fantastically alien, or more apropos a reminder of our last gilded age, than the glittering horde on display at the de Young. Get ready to gawk and awe.”
