According to the Egyptologists, though, Tutankhamun was only a minor pharaoh, and they reckon his treasure would have been vastly outshone by that of more powerful, successful pharaohs, except that tomb-raiders got there before the archaeologists did in those cases.

Regarding Bling - what about Elton John? If by Bling you mean ostentatious, unnecessary, vulgar, tasteless displays of material wealth, then I think Elton's your man....

Yeah but Elton's part of the evolution of Bling! One thats sprouted into fashion.

When I was in Egypt our guide told us, Tutunkhamens reign was minor in Egyptology but his Jewels were legendary.
