On this day : Jan 03rd - 89 years ago ...

[The Flash]

The solid gold coffin of King Tut measures 6 feet 1 inches, or 1.88 metres, in length and weighs a massive 243lbs or 110.4 kilos. Just the raw weight of the gold alone is currently worth about 2 million dollars

In current gold costs it should be worth around £3.8 million if it was solid gold

Pounds yes, around 2 million dollars.

I think you need to check the current exchange rate Mark. It's approx $1.60 to the £.

So $2m is about £1.2m

Just sayin'

TBF, the 'fact' was that it was discovered 89 years ago today.

But you know BM by now Mark, any flaw will be pounced upon.

We got from archeological discovery to bullion prices and exchange rates in about 4 replies, a record surely?

Do I need to start replying in song lyrics again to soothe thine troubled brow?
