"This is a very interesting exhibit. It will educate people about death and the afterlife, and how Egyptians used the Book of the Dead and other rituals. It’s from the New Kingdom, our golden age. And by coming to Dayton, it is helping to bring the money we need in Egypt. Our project does not have any government money — it’s all from tourists and sending out these exhibitions." – Zahi Hawass
