ATLANTA (AP) -- An exhibition featuring more than 130 treasures from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and other ancient sites will begin a United States tour with an opening November in Atlanta.

The Michael C. Carlos Museum of Emory University announced Wednesday it will open the exhibit at the Atlanta Civic Center from November through May 22, 2009. The exhibit will then move to the Indianapolis Children's Museum from June to October 2009.

"Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs" is the second National Geographic exhibition dedicated to the treasures of King Tutankhamun and ancient Egyptian royalty.

The first exhibition, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," was visited by nearly 4 million people during a four-city U.S. tour from 2005 to 2007.

The exhibition is organized by National Geographic, Arts and Exhibitions International and AEG Exhibitions, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities.
