EGYPTOMANIA!

It was nearly 100 years ago, in 1922, when the most astounding archaeological find in history was discovered. The glittering tomb of King Tutankhamen, ‘The Boy King’ was beyond belief.

​

The circumstances that brought Tutankhamen

to this overcrowded tomb have been surrounded by mystery and intrigue.

​

It would take the dedication and unwavering perseverance of Archaeologist Howard Carter,

his financial benefactor, Lord Carnarvon and

Carnarvon’s adventuresome daughter, Lady Evelyn,

to keep the dream alive.

​

When the discovery was revealed, a fever of excitement raced across every continent. From art and fashion to theater and architecture.  This zeal for all things from the glory of ancient Egypt would forever be known as,

 

‘EGYPTOMANIA!’
