Tutankhamen: When the discovery of a tomb in Egypt changed the world

 

When Totan Khamenei's tomb was found in November 1922, the world was enchanted by him and he altered the world.

 

For today's archaeologists, there is a strange profusion of explanations about the individuality of King Totan Khamenei, particularly when many tombs were looted because of his mortuary belongings, and premature deaths happened.

 

When Toutan Khamenei's treasure trove was showed outside Egypt at the Sachi Gallery in London, it became clear that it still had international appeal in the 21st century.

 

But King Tutankhamen's power is as significant in the context of the 1920s as it was in the fillings of the tomb. British archaeologist Howard Carter, who exposed the tomb, also faced a political storm. Egypt has newly undergone a political transition and the new government has tightened control over antiquities.

To increase money for the complex mission of excavating, preserving and categorizing the tomb, Lord Carnarron employed a special agreement with the Times to deliver the Times with news about the tomb and to the press around the world. I had the right to give pictures.

Such preparations were very rare at the time. Kate Warsi, an associate archaeologist at the Griffith Institute in Oxford, trusts financial support and the sustained attention of the media were crucial "because the excavation was so luxurious that it took almost ten years to complete."

Harry Burton, a British-born photographer at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, was taken in to photograph the excavation. His work style was complex and histrionic, he took pictures of objects in special light and from diverse angles and this technique was also introduced in Hollywood at that time.

 

This excavation exposed that the world is misplaced in the magic of ordinary and extraordinary treasures. Paul Collins of the Ashmolein Museum, Oxford, says "the best use of technology has been to improve Egypt."

 

This was the time when radio, telegram, newspapers and movies came composed to get even the smallest information about Tutankhamen.

 

Burton's photographs exposed that there were more than 5,000 items in Tutankhamun's small tomb. In addition to gold statues and ornaments, decorated boxes and boats, everyday things such as bread and pieces of meat, pulses and dates were also comprised. There were even flower garlands.

The discoveries also prejudiced fashion design in the 1920s, and Egyptian designs of snakes, birds and flowers were designed on clothing. Burton Keeper Luxury Pictures talk about the new consumerism of the 1920s.

 

King Totan satisfied people's thoughts and product stresses with the goods of his world. Tutankhamun was possibly easier to denote to than other empires of the past, as King Tutankhamun's father, Akhenaten, presented a new style of dictatorial art that presented the kingdom as a gentle and natural way, as well as family life. In this new style, women had a protuberant role.

 

Statues of women in all four angles of Tutankhamen's tomb, including a statue of the goddess Isis, were a motivation to modern women, a new type of woman developing after World War I. ۔

Cleopatra's style of short hair and shift dress, cocktail drinking and dancing to the beat of a jazz band, Modern Girl gestured resistance. She could entice a man or live without a man. She was also a trade icon ... She sold lipstick, face powder, perfumes and face creams. Many of these, such as the Nail Queen product manufactured by the Kashmir Chemical Company in Chicago, were promoted in Egypt.
