Elvis and Egypt! Elvis and Egypt are both linked by a number of different things. Memphis, Elvis beloved city where he lived, was named after the city of the same name in Egypt. Both places are served by huge rivers - the Nile in Egypt, the mighty Mississippi in Memphis. And both even feature Pyramids as part of their impressive skylines. And of course they have both home of kings - The King of Rock and Roll in the case of Memphis and in Egypt the Pharaohs who ruled over the country in ancient times. Of all the Pharaohs the most famous is arguably Tutankhamun; The Boy King. And theres a link between him and Elvis too. In 2007 the O2 Arena in London played host to a record-breaking exhibit of Tutankhamuns treasures......well record breaking up until now! Weve learned the fantastic news that to date, with over 57,000 tickets sold, the Elvis at the O2 exhibit has already smashed ticket sales - and its not even finishing until August!! It just proves that it doesnt matter who you are, even a King who ruled over a whole civilisation - youll never be bigger than the true King; Elvis Presley! If you havent been as yet then dont miss out on this awesome exhibit (its like a little slice of Graceland in the UK) head over to: elvisattheo2 TCB and TCE - Strictly Elvis UK / The Elvis Travel Service
