>> WELCOME BACK. IT IS NOW 943 ON YOUR FRIDAY EVE. WHAT DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT KING TUT AND ANCIENT
EGYPTIAN?
EGYPTIAN?
EGYPTIAN? >> HOW MUCH TIME YOU GOT? NO I
KNOW VERY LITTLE. BUT THAT CAN
CHANGE. ALL THANKS TO A BRAND
NEW IMMERSIVE EXHIBITION. WE'RE
LEARNING A LOT MORE THAN YOU
EVER PROBABLY THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
MARCY JONES IS THERE LIVE THIS
MORNING WITH A SNEAK PEEK EVEN
BEFORE OPENING DAY, WHICH IS
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. >> WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN. MARCY.
>> SHE'S A VIP OVER THERE. HEY,
MARCY.
MARCY.
MARCY. >>
MARCY. >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> I LOVE THE BENGALS. HEY,
GUYS. GOOD MORNING. I'M SO
EXCITED TO BE HERE. THIS IS
REALLY COOL. YOU KNOW, YOU'VE
PROBABLY BEEN TO THE CONNECTICUT
CONVENTION CENTER HUNDREDS OF
TIMES. YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT LIKE
THIS. THIS IS REALLY COOL. IT'S
LIKE TAKING A TIME TRAVELING
MACHINE BACK TO ANCIENT EGYPT.
YOU JUST HEARD MARK LOCK SAY,
ROLL IT, THIS IS REALLY COOL.
MARK. I'VE GOT TO SAY IT AGAIN.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, ROLL IT. LET'S
GO, GUYS. THERE WE GO.
>> OH, WE MADE A DEPRESSION. I
NEEDED YOUR HELP.
>> THIS IS SO COOL.
>> WOW.
>> WOW.
>> WOW. >> COME ON.
>> THIS IS 360 ALL AROUND YOU.
ALL THE WAY U. HOW HIGH ARE
THESE? THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
>> 22 FOOT WALLS.
>> NO WAY.
>> TWO FEET HIGH. 100 BY 65. IN
HERE. AND THEN PROJECTION ON THE
FLOOR. AND WE HAVE THREE
CHAPTERS IN HERE. THIS IS KIND
OF THE BIG CRESCENDO OF THE
EXPERIENCE. THE FIRST ONE THAT
WE'RE SEEING NOW IS ALL ABOUT
THE ARTIFACTS, THE PIECES THAT
WERE FOUND IN TUT'S TOMB
PHOTOGRAPHED BY NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, AND NOW PUT UP IN A
WAY THAT THEY'VE NEVER BEEN SEEN
BEFORE, NEVER REALLY DESERVE THE
SHOWCASE, THOUGH, BECAUSE
THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
>> I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
>> AND YEARS AGO, WE COULDN'T
HAVE DONE THIS. THE TECHNOLOGY
THAT ALLOWS, YOU KNOW, HIGH DEF
DIGITAL PROJECTION IAN NOW
BRINGS THIS TO LIFE. AND I
MENTIONED WE HAVE THREE
CHAPTERS. THE OTHER TWO ARE YOUR
JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE WITH
TUTANKHAMUN. WE DO THAT WITH
ANIMATION, YES, BECAUSE THE
EGYPTIANS COMMUNICATED WITH
ILLUSTRATIONS. SO IT'S VERY KID
FRIENDLY.
FRIENDLY.
FRIENDLY. >> MY JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE
WAS WHEN I CAME HOME WITH MY BAD
SAT SCORES AND MY MOM WAS NOT
HAPPY. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT, MUCH MORE
ENTERTAINING. A WHOLE DIFFERENT
STORY.
STORY.
STORY. >>
STORY. >> YES. AND THEN WHAT ELSE DO WE
HAVE IN BETWEEN THE FIRST ONE
THROWN OFF COMPLETELY. NOW, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. THE LAST
ONE IS SO MANY PEOPLE DOING
THESE EXHIBITIONS OVER THE
YEARS, ESPECIALLY EARLY EGYPTIAN
EXHIBITIONS. RIGHT. BOY, I WANT
TO GO TO EGYPT. I MAY NEVER MAKE
IT TO EGYPT. YEAH. TODAY IS MY
JOURNEY TO EGYPT. YES. WELL
THAT. YEAH, WE'VE GOT A WHOLE
CHAPTER OF GOING TO EGYPT TODAY
. MEANING YOU'LL FLY OVER THE
PYRAMIDS IN A HOT AIR BALLOON.
YOU'LL RIDE A CAMEL, YOU'LL GO
TO A DOWNTOWN MARKET IN CAIRO,
AND YOU COULD TAKE THIS
INCREDIBLE VESSEL RIGHT IN FRONT
OF US.
OF US.
OF US. >>
OF US. >> EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. >>
THIS. >> WELL, THE CENTER OF THE
UNIVERSE IN EGYPT FOR ANCIENT
EGYPTIANS OR TODAY'S EGYPTIANS
IS THE NILE RIVER. IT'S THE IT'S
THE BRINGER OF ALL LIFE, IF YOU
WILL. RIGHT. AND THE EGYPTIANS
WOULD GO. THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS
WOULD TRAVEL DOWN THE RIVER IN A
VESSEL LIKE THIS. AND WHEN YOU
MADE YOUR JOURNEY INTO THE
AFTERLIFE, MEANING YOU WANTED TO
ACHIEVE EVERLASTING LIFE 3400
YEARS AGO, YOU WOULD ALSO TAKE A
BOAT. WOW. THROUGH THAT JOURNEY.
>> AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S
PROBABLY HARD FOR PEOPLE AT HOME
TO KIND OF GRASP THE SCALE OF
THIS JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
IT'S ON THEIR TV. IT'S NOT RIGHT
IN FRONT OF THEM. BUT WE'RE
GOING TO WALK OVER SO THAT YOU
CAN SEE JUST HOW HOW LARGE THIS
IS. AND IT REALLY IS PART OF
THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE. I LIKE IT
SO MUCH BETTER THAN A CLASSIC.
MUSEUMS ARE GREAT TRADITIONAL
EXPERIENCES. AMAZING. THIS
BRINGS YOU BACK IN TIME. IT'S
IMMERSED OF IT'S HANDS ON IN
FACT, WHY DON'T YOU TELL
EVERYBODY ABOUT ONE OF MY
FAVORITE THINGS THAT I'VE SEEN
SO FAR? YOU WERE EXPLAINING A
GAME THAT WAS FOUND. YES. AND
THEN IT WAS JUST KIND OF A SMALL
HAND SIZE, BUT YOU BLEW IT UP SO
THAT PEOPLE CAN REALLY SEE THE
INTRICACIES OF IT.
>> CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN
ANCIENT EGYPT PLAYED A GAME
CALLED SENET, AND IN THE TOMB
WAS FOUND A SENET GAME THAT FIT
INTO THE PALM OF A NINE YEAR
OLD. THIS BELONGED TO THE BOY
KING. HE PLAYED THIS GAME AS A
CHILD. IT HAD LITTLE PIECES ON
TOP AND A LITTLE AS YOU YOU SLID
IN TO HOLD THE PIECES. WELL,
WE'VE KIND OF BLOWN THAT UP. SO
FAMILIES VISITING THE EXHIBITION
CAN NOW PLAY THE SAME GAME THAT
TUTANKHAMUN PLAYED AND NOT WORRY
ABOUT BREAKING IT OR LOSING A
SMALL PIECE BECAUSE IT'S BLOWN
UP AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE ALL OF
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> THAT'S SO GREAT.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE OUT OF
TIME. GIVE EVERYBODY AN IDEA OF
HOW THEY CAN VISIT. I KNOW IT
STARTS TOMORROW. AND HOW LONG
DOES IT RUN THROUGH? WE OPEN
TOMORROW TILL OCTOBER 15TH
BEYOND KING TUT.COM.
>> ALL THE INFORMATION WE'RE
OPEN FROM WEDNESDAY TO SUNDAY.
SO WE'RE SO EXCITED TO BE IN
LOVE IN HARTFORD.
>> IT IS SO COOL. GUYS, I'M
GOING TO SEND IT BACK TO YOU. I
DO HAVE A JOKE. WHY WAS THE
PHARAOH SO BOASTFUL?
>> WHY WAS THE PHARAOH SO
BOASTFUL?
BOASTFUL?
BOASTFUL? >> BECAUSE HE HAD A BIG BECAUSE
HE SPHINX.
HE SPHINX. >> HE'S THE BEST.
>> YOU KNOW. THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
THERE YOU GO. I LOVE COLD
