At last, after a year of rumors, we know the truth about King Tut.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University will host an exhibition of artifacts belonging to the boy king this fall, but not the one that already has toured the United States, as previously speculated.

"Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs," a new exhibition featuring more than 130 artifacts from Tut's tomb and other sites, will have its U.S. premiere at the Atlanta Civic Center from Nov. 15 to May 22, 2009, the museum announced Tuesday. After Atlanta, the exhibit will continue to six other U.S. cities.

Included are artifacts spanning 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. Also to be displayed: the latest scientific research about the young royal, who has piqued imagination since his tomb was excavated in 1922.

The team that organized the recent "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" will re-create the four rooms of Tut's tomb for the new exhibition. The king's golden sandals and one of the bejeweled canopic coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs are among the artifacts displayed.

Tickets can be reserved for the Atlanta run starting Wednesday at www.kingtut.org or www.carlos.emory.edu.
