Replica of Tutankhamen's Tomb Opens

An exact copy of the famous tomb of Tutankhamen opened today in Egypt. The tomb was built on the east bank of the Nile along the corniche in Luxor. A Madrid firm used 3D scanners to re-create the artwork in the tomb.

Reproductions of the tombs of Nefertari and Seti I have also been proposed.

Here is a link to an article on the opening of this copy of the tomb:
