We don’t know how Tutankhamen died, who his parents were or, most controversially, what the colour of his skin was. What we do know, in part because 700,000 people lined up to see his treasures at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1979, is that King Tut remains a big deal. Pharaonic splendour returns Tuesday when the travelling exhibition Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs brings 50 objects from...
