Tut: The Treasures at Heritage Key

Finally I was able to continue my voyage to the unknown and to land at the Valley of the kings!
After a few misses at the teleports, which are automatic when you enter the teleport circle in the Heritage Key, I reached the oasis where Howard Carter found the tomb of the young king Tutankhamen.
This king died at the age of nineteen so the hastily built tomb found by Howard Carter in 1922 is simple.
You can observe the burial chamber and will find an auditory history at each stop at the tomb. Outside are myriad other tombs you cannot enter but which add to the site itself.
Offices and sleeping tents with artifacts litter the area making it appear as it may have been in those years of discovery.
It is fun to roam looking at the K tombs you wish you could enter.
I spied another teleport entry and after I finished examining the area I walked into the circle (teleport) and was whisked to the Gallery of artifacts.
What an amazing place!
Many of the antiquities discovered in the tomb are displayed in an elegant setting.
The antiquities can be enlarged to see the detail. One can spend a lot of time looking at these elegant artifacts.
The next teleport turned out to be the most delightful.
Cosmic!
Landing at the site of the mask is a treat not to be missed. Then you can opt to wander down a trail of stars to view more of lovely artifacts or just teleport to the end of the journey.
It does finally come to an end… you will teleport to the closing building, Life on the Nile. You may take a survey, decide it is the end or you may opt to begin again by going off to Home.
It was an amazing visit to another world. It makes one wonder how many more we can experience as sites begin to move from second life to …where ? It is never ending I begin to believe.
How many avatars will I have ? How many worlds will I see. I cannot wait to find out! http://heritage-key.com/virtual-experience

Tut!! Where are you?

About three months ago I took a landmark from a friend to go see the King Tut Exhibit in SL.
I did go and looked around at the lovely site with all the diggings and displays and was going to write about it but got distracted and never did do the story. Last week I received an e-mail from the Rezzable group notifying me that the whole exhibit had been moved to a whole new world. Wow! That means I have to be a whole new person in an unknown land. OK. I decided that if I can have a second life I can have a third one too. Why not. I searched the website and found that
Heritage VE looks very interesting. It was scary to enter a third life but I did.
The first day was not very good because I spent a while trying to get in the front door but finally made it. If you go you will find a very nice home which becomes boring after a while when you keep entering there to the same help area with the tutorial you already know if you are an sl avatar.
As you look at your avatar you will say “OH MY GOD” Help! Well, just wander off down the corridor to the welcome area to pick up some hair, clothes, skin, just do not look too closely ) You know the routine. They have really nice tutorials there to help newbies, but we can go on because we have the skills to exist from second life.
You see a revolving entryway and you enter you will very nicely teleport to the museum entrance where you can also get a nice outfit for exploring . Now, there ahead is another revolving entry !
Off you go to a new location for a quick tp to the COMPASS! !
From the compass you will take a balloon ride off to the Valley of the Kings The balloon ride is really wonderful as you begin rising above the map of Egypt headed for the Valley.
You can look over the map of the old Egypt as you go but hang on.
My first attempt was met with several crashes and I had to begin the process again from the home base. After some help from Heritage I downloaded a more recent viewer and finally made it to the Valley of the Kings to enjoy the whole experience!
I will show you the site in my next story. http://heritage-key.com/virtual-experience
