Luxor to Celebrate Centennial of Discovery of King Tut’s Tomb

It’s the year 2022, which marks two milestones in modern Egyptology. Not only is it the 200th anniversary of the deciphering of the Rosetta Stone, which unlocked our understanding of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, but it’s also the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.

It was a century ago when Egyptologist Howard Carter unburied Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings, reigniting a global interest in Ancient Egypt. To celebrate the centennial, the Egyptian government has been setting the stage since 2019, when over 150 objects from the pharaoh’s tomb were sent on one final world tour. The special ‘Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh’ exhibition appeared in prestigious museums worldwide before returning to its permanent home at the Grand Egyptian Museum in 2022.
