King Tut's chariot races to New York
"This is the first time that the chariot will travel outside Egypt," said Dr. Zahi Hawass, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. "As we discover more about Tutankhamun's death, we may find that this very chariot is an important piece of the puzzle that we've been working for decades to solve."
