1922: King Tut
On this day in 1922, the tomb of King Tut was discovered in Egypt and t-shirts, souveniers and promotional tote bags haven’t been the same since.
The 1922 discovery by Howard Carter of Tutankhamun’s intact tomb received worldwide press coverage and sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun’s burial mask remains the popular face.
If ancient Egypt needs a face, King Tut’s is a good choice.
