...Tutankhamun, shown as the sun-god emerging from a lotus plant in daily rebirth, stares outward with a gaze that is as candid, guileless-and impenetrably secretive-as a cat's. Nearly every one of the 55 artworks seems a confident invocation of the idea of permanence. "To speak the names of the dead is to make them live again," said the ancient Egyptians.
