Discovery Place rocks!

Yesterday we took Noah to see the Mummies exhibit at Discovery Place in Charlotte--the exhibit was great, and I'm sure we'll be going back. After the exhibit, though, we quickly ran out of time to see everything that Discovery Place had to offer.

This was one of the things that really had Noah tickled; I'm not sure what it was--they called it "dust" but I think it was iron filings with magnets that moved in sync with the music (then again, it could have been dust, though MY dust at home doesn't move like this):

The happy archaeologist!

The Mummy!

Archaeologist Noah and his Mummy

After consideration of the locale, the sarcophagus and the identifying hieroglyphics, Dr. Noah has determined the is the mummy of King Tutankhamen!

A MUMMY!

It is better than we'd hoped! A genuine mummy!!!!

Proceeding carefully...

The sandstone is soft, and we don't want to damage anything inside.

We found a sarcophagus!

Found this in the Mummies exhibit...I wonder what's inside?!?!
