Archeology

The IMAG History & Science Center in Fort Myers is currently displaying an exhibition titled “Tutankhamun: Return of the King,” which includes replicas of artifacts found in the tomb of Rameses VI, the 12th pharaoh of the 18th Egyptian Dynasty, also known as “the boy king.”

Florida celebrates Archaeology Month in March. This month Southwest Florida is finally recognizing some monumental discoveries that originally were revealed in early 2020, but were overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Calusa Coast events have been celebrated each weekend by the Randell Research Center in Pine Island, Koreshan State Park in Estero, Lover's Key State Park and the Mound House on Fort Myers Beach, the Marco Island Historical Society, and at the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium in Fort Myers.
