Penn Museum is getting its biggest makeover in 118 years
Soaring, 40-foot portal and columns of a temple from the palace of Merenptah will be displayed intact for first time. Rendering by Tom Fricker (Fricker Studio) and Carl Peterson (Brightman Designs). The Penn Museum is internationally famous for its incomparable collection of mummies and architectural elements from ancient Egypt (not to mention its sphinx), its dazzling artifacts from the Royal Tomb of Ur in the Middle East, and for its Mayan writing on stone shafts and tablets, some of the oldest carved in the Western hemisphere. It is less congenially known for displaying these objects in some of the darkest, hottest, and timelessly static galleries known to humankind.

History and Diplomacy: 2000 Years Ago a 16-Year-Old Indian Princess Sailed to Korea and Created Dynasties

The marriage of Indian princess Suriratna, known as Hur Hwang-ock to the Koreans and King Kim Suro of the Gaya Kingdom in 48 A.D. started the Karak dynasty to which six million Koreans today historically trace their ancestry.
Flower Child of Akhetaten
Ankhesenamun is portrayed in myriad ways; as a terrified and hapless youngster; a power-hungry murderess; or a loathsome vixen who will stop at nothing to achieve her devious ends. Very few characterizations concentrate on the real person, sans the hype. But then, with irrefutable facts hard to come by, any exotic soap opera can be built around an ancient individual! This once-powerful queen surely deserves a far better study of her personage; for she seems to have managed to prevent a dynasty from imploding and that is her lasting legacy.
The hand of Ankhesenamun rests protectively upon the back of her husband and half-brother Pharaoh Tutankhamun, in this statue at Karnak Temple. The penultimate ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty, King Aye, probably married the young queen to legitimize his claim to the throne.
