2022 Tutankamun,Centenary of Discovery, Mint Sheet of 4 Stamps, Great Britain

Mint Sheet of 4 Commemorates 100th Anniversary of Discovery of King Tut's Tomb

The tomb of King Tutankhamun ("Tut") was discovered in teh Valley of the Kings in Egypt in 1922.  Because his tomb was hidden by debris for the 3,300 years since his death and burial, graverobbers were unable to disturb it as extensively as other pharaoh's tombs.  That has made it the only known near-intact royal burial from ancient Egypt.

This mint sheet of four Great Britain stamps celebrates the 100th anniversary of the discovery in 2022.  Since the originally discovery of King Tut's tomb was made by British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, it's no surprise Great Britain would want to commemorate the anniversary of the monumental discovery.  Get this mint sheet in your collection today.
