Getting there: Ticket procedure for Dallas’ King Tut exhibit
“Statue of Horus the Elder” is featured in the exhibit “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.” This figure represents Herwer (”Horus the Elder”), one of the many gods Tutankhamun restored when he reinstated traditional religion after the revolutionary Amarna period. Herwer, a funerary god, is mummiform and has the head of a falcon. (Dynasty 18, reign of Tutankhamun 1332-1322 BCE. Photo by Kenneth Garrett/National Geographic)
