8 Mint Stamps Commemorate 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.

These 8 mint 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.  Each stamp pictures a different treasure or artifact found in King Tut's tomb and now on display in the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt.  Get them in your collection today.
