Visitors couldn't walk all the way around to fully appreciate the beauty and detailing in the statue of the teen age pharaoh. No longer.

King Tut's statue now stands in a more prominent spot, at the center of the museum's newly renovated Egyptian Hall. The museum plans a preview at its annual members' dinner Monday, but Tut won't be ready for public viewing until the hall reopens in De cember. "We are so lucky to have this sculpture," said Emily Teeter, the museum's associate curator. "There is just no way you could put any sort of value on something of this magnitude." The 17-foot tall, 7-ton statue is one of two identical likenesses of the teen-age ruler who died mysteriously in 1325 B.C. Uvo Holscher, a German archeologist working for the institute, found broken pieces of the quartzite statues in 1931 in the rubble of a temple in the Valley of the Kings a burial grounds of pharaohs in Luxor, Egypt.

Egypt kept the best-preserved statue, giving the other to the institute. What came to Chicago were four large fragments of Tutankhamen's head and torso.

"Most people don't realize that it is a restored version with only portions of the original statue within it." Moving Tut was no easy task.

It is so heavy the museum floor can't support it alone. Steel beams through the legs and base connect to support beams that run through the floor to a concrete slab in the basement. An inscription on the statue's back actually identifies it as a likeness of Horemheb, who served as a general under both Tut and his successor Aye, before himself becoming pharaoh in 1321 B.C.

But a closer look reveals that Horemheb had an earlier inscription of Aye's name AP Restoration of a statue of King Tutankhamen, given to the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute in the 1930s, continued Tuesday in Chicago. chopped out in order to identify the statue as his own. "We know it's actually a depiction of Tut by its very distinctive facial features," Teeter said. "It's also done in the style of sculpture that existed during his life, but doesn't appear after his death." The museum receives fewer than 70,000 visitors each year.
