Met Museum’s first Egypt show in over a decade brings ancient gods and goddesses to life

NEW YORK (AP) — The powerful gods of ancient Egypt are having a get-together on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

That would be at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s been more than a decade since the museum’s last big Egypt show, so “Divine Egypt” — a lavish exploration of how ancient Egyptians depicted their gods — is a major event, as evidenced by the crowds packing the show since its Oct. 12 opening.
