Pacific Science Center To Bring Ancient Artifacts, Nightmarish Curse to Seattle in 2012
Coming... well, not exactly soon, but eventually to a museum near you.
Pacific Science Center has announced that Seattle will be joining bustling Forks as one of Washington's premier destinations for undead monster related tourism. While Forks has cornered the market on sexy teenage vampire paraphernalia, the sexy teenage mummy tourism market, which local experts figure for the next teen craze, is still wide open. Seattle staked its claim as a leader in that market today with the announcement that the Pacific Science Centre is set to host the new exhibition of artifacts from the tomb of the original sexy teenage mummy, King Tutankhamun.
The exhibition is scheduled to open in Seattle in just two short years and will feature over 100 artifacts from the tomb of the world's most famous and fascinating preserved corpse. Due to the concerns of the Egyptian government, some particularly precious artifacts, like Tut's death mask and his horrific, shambling remains, animated by ancient rituals and hatred of the living, will not be included in the exhibit. That's probably a good thing, though, as it allows residents and tourists to see an exhibit jam-packed with beautiful and historically significant relics of a bygone time while minimizing their chances of contracting an awful curse from one of said relics.
Fair warning, though - even a minimal chance of being cursed in a room filled with items looted from a pharaoh's tomb is still significantly higher than most people's daily baseline chance of being cursed. We're just saying.
