King Tut is in town: "King Tut and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs Exhibition" at the Civic Center.
Lucky us: We get a giant statue on Peachtree at 13th. It looks quite authoritative there, lording over the midtown skyline and new construction. It must be 25 feet tall, elevated on a pedestal, behind a tall fence, emerging from a vacant lot used for construction storage. It certainly transcends all this, facing north, just doing his job.Jackal-headed god Anubis is believed to be the guide and protector of the dead in ancient Egypt
