When British archeologist Howard Carter unearthed the magnificent treasures and splendor of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, he introduced the world to a little known boy king and sparked a global Egyptian revival craze fondly called "Tut-mania."
From art, film and architecture to fashion, hairstyles and jewelry, Egyptian motifs started appearing on everything! King Tut brand lemons, Old Egypt cigarettes, even President Herbert Hoover named his beloved dog after the boy prince. There was no escaping Tut-mania, and honestly who would want to?
