Egyptian treasures begin U S tour at Toledo museum

It showcases 144 pieces spanning 35 centuries, from hand-sized carvings to the 7-foot Lion of Amenhotep II and the King Tutankhamen statue, with some works weighing several tons. The show emphasizes ancient drawing methods and the evolution of royal and nonroyal sculpture through the Old Kingdom to the Late Period.
