King Tut & Tourists In 1925

[@randocalrissian347]

Omg I was so excited! This is so interesting to hear about it from the actual time of excavation! My grandmother who was a little girl in the 20’s gave me an old book on Tutankhamen which started my lifelong love of Egyptology. Combined with my love of art deco, I make a lot of art deco Egyptian inspired jewelry pieces. I am staring at a cabinet full of Egyptian antiquities as I type lol. Such a fun video, thank you!!!!

I had a magazine on Egyptian things for sale from this era. I had some of the most horrific nightmares!!! I throughout the magazine and the nightmares stopped

To think that when this article was published, the most famous artifact in history: the death mask of Tutankhamun, had yet to be discovered.

Egypt is still behaving this way.

if you mean jealously guarding their heritage, they have every right to.

@@kidmohair8151 It seems some people still think that the old children's rhyme of "Finders keeps, losers weepers" still applies to their world......sad.
