Kanye West Meets the Gilded Coffin of Tjuya: An Imaginary Conversation
Recently, Kanye West returned from retirement to visit New York and the "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibition at the Discovery Times Square Exposition. "He said it was something he really wanted to see," a representative for the show told MTV News. West brought with him some jewelry--a necklace depicting Horus, the Egyptian god of the sky, and a gigantic pyramid ring to match. A photo of the whole thing, with Kanye standing next to the 700-year-old gilded coffin of King Tut progenitor Tjuya, inevitably surfaced. We went back and time and eavesdropped.
