Replica Tutankhamun tomb opened in Luxor today

I attended the opening and I have to say that once you are inside it is n different from the real thing except you can take photos. It has some nice display boards explaining things and a short film but the thing I find most interesting was the missing south wall which was removed to get the artefacts out
