TEXT 1: HOW KING TUT CONQUERED POP CULTURE KEY
In late 1922 the British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered a royal tomb untouched for 3,300 years in Egypt’s Valley
1
of the Kings. The occupant, teenage pharaoh Tutankhamun, became an instant media sensation. Newspapers couldn’t get
2
enough of him or his wealth, exemplified by his solid gold death mask. As Carter carefully removed and catalogued the contents
3
of his tomb, the king, who had died at the age of 19 without accomplishing much in real life, resurrected into a trend-setting
4
superstar. Tutmania had arrived.
5
Fashion and ancient Egyptian history don’t seem like a natural mix, but after Tut’s discovery the two converged. Fabrics for
6
dresses and coats displayed motifs such as palm trees, lotus blossoms and sphinxes. Famous jewelers fashioned Egyptian-
7
themed adornments. Handbags, umbrellas, and cigarette cases were Egyptianized. Beauty products also followed the trend,
8
establishing a link to Egypt’s exotic royals. For instance, women began to line their eyes with Nile -inspired Kohl eyeliner even
9
though makeup had been associated with sex workers until recently.
10
The Egyptian discovery also inspired performers, writers and artists. Author Richard Goyne made a youthful King Tut the
11
main character of his 1923 book entitled The Kiss of Pharaoh: The Love Story of Tut-Ankh-Amen. Fighting his way to the
12
throne, Tut encounters many obstacles, such as the disappearance of the royal bride.
13
In the movie world, The Mummy, starring Boris Karloff in 1932, told the story of an archaeologist, a linen -wrapped mummy
14
and a curse. The idea for the plot arose from the series of str ange deaths that occurred after the discovery of Tut’s tomb. These
15
included Lord Carnarvon’s, the excavation’s aristocratic sponsor, who died less than five months after the discovery .
