A major North American tour for the Tutankhamen artifacts, which haven't been in the States for almost 30 years, will raise the profile of the Egyptian boy king just as Out of the Box has released its game Tutankhamen. 

The 27-month tour opens in June at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and travels to the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art and the Field Museum of Chicago as well.  The last visit of this collection, which did not include as many items, attracted eight million visitors and a large amount of publicity.  .
