Nice, I've seen large Egyptian exhibits at the Louvre and the King Tut traveling exhibit in San Fransisco. Very impressive indeed.
The same day I saw the King Tut exhibit I also saw an exhibit from feudal Japan. The workmanship of the Japanese items was absolutely stunning, much more impressive than the King Tut items as one would expect from a period many centuries later. All of these examples were still done by hand. It's hard to imagine a person in the modern era devoting a lifetime to make only a handful of swords.
What makes these items interesting is that they were made without modern tools or technology. Today our manufacturing technology could replicate these achievements easily. Even common items like grave tombstones can be produced in short order with highly polished stone and precise engraving. See [1].
