There are less than three weeks left to see the Tutankhamun - His Tomb and His Treasures exhibition at the Silverstar Casino on the West Rand, Johannesburg, until April 12. Grade 2 learner, Asha Pitman, 8, saw it on a school outing.She spoke to Andrea Nagel about her impressions.Who was Tutankhamun?He was a pharaoh who died hundreds of years ago when he was very young, 19, and was buried in a pyramid.What did you find most interesting about the exhibition?The Tutankhamun death mask.

I also liked the pharaoh's big golden throne.Why did Tutankhamun die so young?When they turned 30, it would be equivalent to 170 for us today.Did you see any mummies?Yes lots, but they were fake ones. The coffins on display are also copies.What fascinated you about the show?We saw pictures of the insides of Tutankhamun. They were rotten because the ancient Egyptians didn't have medicine. We could see that King Tut died either because he was very sick or because he rolled off a bed. No, he fell off a horse and broke his leg and it got infected. [He had a thigh fracture that became infected, according to scientists.]What was different in those days?There were no fridges in those days. They had to eat everything fresh before it got rotten. The pharaohs' food was kept in little boxes that were buried in the pyramids with them. They slept in beds shaped like leopards made out of gold.Who discovered Tutankhamun's sarcophagus?There were two guys who went to Egypt to find the coffins with mummies inside [George Herbert Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter]. Carnarvon died because he was bitten by a mozzie and people thought he was cursed by the mummy...
