The Cartouches of Tutankhamun

Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, living in the time of the New Kingdom or New Empire Period of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. He has been referred to as King Tut since the tomb’s discovery.

The legacy Tut left behind is more important than the life he led. In the Valley of the Kings outside of Luxor, Egypt, when British archaeologist Howard Carter and his crew first discovered his tomb in 1922, grave robbers had left it undisturbed. A pharaoh’s tomb has never been discovered in the such exquisite condition in contemporary times; therefore, the find caused a stir. Tutankhamun wasn’t well known before, but he swiftly rose to fame via movies, music, and periodicals. Even “Tutmania” parodies, like the memorable Saturday Night Live song by Steve Martin, have grown to be cultural icons in their own right. Here are some more examples of how King Tut influenced popular culture throughout the past century.

Among many companies, even if their products had no connection with Egyptian history, the popularity of Tut-fever in companies’ marketing is notable to some. As a result, in many countries, a card depicting the young pharaoh came in cigarette cartons, and lemons were sold under the label “King Tut Brand.” The entrepreneurs were more creative in embracing Egyptian themes; the stage magician Carter The Great incorporated images and story elements inspired by Tut’s discovery into his act and stories that he had invented from Tut’s discovery. The Egyptian theme in art is still alive and well. From regular products to exquisite items, you will find the “Egyptian Style.”
