What would a resurrected King Tut say about today's Egypt?

sistablu...Maat

From the funerary goods Tutankhamen took with him into the afterlife we know that he was like most young males and loved speed.
The chariots found in his tomb would equate to supercharged cars in this age. I think he would have probably had a pretty mean street car if he lived in these time and love driving it as hard as he could and would not be past doing a few burnouts.
What would he think about Egypt today?
I think once he adjusted to all the concrete,population density and modern technology he would love it and make full advantage of his wealth and status.
He would likely even go street dragging with his new friends and learn quickly how to enjoy all the"boy toys" of this modern age,such the internet and online P.C gaming. He would definitely have fast and supercharged motorbikes and cars and use his latest iphone to keep in contact with all the friends he met when out clubbing to the small hours of the morning.
Tutankhamen was still very much enjoying his life of privilege and left the affairs of state to his advisers and the newly reformed priests of Amun.
As he was obviously very much a daredevil and loved the latest trends of his time I really feel he would easily adjust to 2007 and enjoy another chance at a life that was dramatically cut short by a accident.
It is thought that this occurred possibly while he was racing or hunting in his chariot. From an autopsy and MIR scan of his mummified remains it is obvious he took a bad fall resulting in several severe fractures and died at 19 due to untreatable septicaemia.
There is no doubt at all that Tutankhamen would enjoy life to the fullest in the year 2007AD just as he did in the mid1330s BCE .

he would probably say "COOL!" (In acient egyptian of course) because he was a kid, not even an adult when he died. He didn't know how to run a government, let alone tell if it was a good one or not.

Baboushka

I want my mummy!!!!

Arabian Dune

Sh@t, what happened here.
And who took all my stuff.
why does the air smell funny and the water taste different.

He would say "I am a living God, bow before me or perish." He would then be met by much laughter from modern Egyptians who would find his belief system very alien to them. He would then say Egypt today is not his Egypt and thankfully he woud be very right.

Good Luck!!!

Wow I am gonna make a fortune when I take a trademark out on my name.
Where is the pawn broker I want to hock my gold mask and sandals and buy some gym boots?

The Stainless Steel Rat

I think he would be appalled shocked and amazed. Appalled at the lack of architectural design shocked that his language and culture are dead and amazed at the transformation and modern tech. As usual sistablue has given all the very pertinent historical background in a very concise manner.

He would tell them to speak whatever language he spoke or "get the hell out" and declare war on the Nubians and would tell belly dancers to get to the point and stop teasing.

He would want some lemonade and probably be disappointed in the lack of building taking place.

The Masked Man

What have you done!!!??? Look at this mess!! Who are these people with clicking and flashing devices (cameras) in their hands!? What are moving pieces of metal (cars)!?
WHY HAVE YOU PUT METAL WIRES (a fence) AROUND MY OWN PYRAMID!?!?!?!?

on our own honor

I don't know, but it would probably be in Aramaic with a strong Etruscan accent.

Sultan Shalfat the Adventurer

Don't know, he will be speaking in a different language.

Grrrrrr...... Brains.......

Well, i know he didnt take anything but his good deeds into the 'afterlife' subhanAllah... If he had any. The One thing Allah(Swt) has enjoined on HIMself is to be just....so Tut will get the hellfire or the Jennah depending on the mercy of Allah(swt) to speculate anything for him or anyone is pointless.
