You make the decade of 100 years ago sound so interesting. Kudos! It was the decade my parents were born and grew up in. And learning about it just fascinates me.

Same here, and when it comes to contemplating, thinking, meditating on our forebears world and lives (the world and lives we come forth from) studies such as this vid add great value.

This was also the decade my parents were born into and my grandparents enjoyed as adults. I adore this channel and the music. The fellow that works on this is fantastic and his vouch suits the period he clearly loves.

And then there was the song that Sophie Tucker sang in 1923 on the subject that ended "An old Egyptian well-dressed man, wore nothing but a coat of tan/in old King Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut, King Tutty's day."

Great video! The sad life of King Tut was lost on the 1920's imagination - as he was in real life physically ill and frail during his short life due to a crippling disease and inbreeding in the royal family. He is the only known pharaoh to be depicted in painting seated while doing royal sports such as archery.

Can’t watch without having Steve Martin’s King Tut playing in my mind. 🤣🤣

Tut tut, old man.

Thanks for the Egyptian topic. I found the old illustrations showing what had been found in the tomb fun and one very amusing showing he thought to have his underwear packed for the voyage to the afterlife. Yes as many mothers through the ages admonished us all to be sure and wear clean underwear in case we get into an accident and it's discovered we are wearing soiled undergarments. 😂 King Tut couldn't get into the afterlife with dirty underwear that's for sure. Then in the 1970s Steve Martin brought back his popularity for a while with his song and dance "King Tut".

The mother's wear-clean-underwear-or-you-could-be-embarrassed admonition". A classical reference probably preceding ancient Egypt in antiquity!

Nicely done! When teaching my students on the Egyptian craze of the 1920s, I might show them parts of this video.

Everyday life looks and sounds so vibrant and exciting back then. Today's day just feels so gloomy, that's how come this channel is quite fun and refreshing to escape to :)

One of the most under rated channels on youtube! As all ways great video!

Loved this!!! I study all things of ancient Egypt, but King Tut…you’re right…he just had it! Thanks for the hard work and research you put into this channel!

Thx for mentioning the Egyptian Theater in Dekalb. Went to many great college plays and music shows there

Very nicely done. Funny how history repeats itself; in the late 1970's, there was a king tut mania due to a museum tour of king Tut relics. The first time around was a lot more interesting though.

The 1920s were the second time around. In the later Victorian period, Egyptology influenced design and decor.

There also seemed to be a great deal of 1920s-30s nostalgia in the culture of the 1970s, particularly in cinema. Just another reason the 70s are my personal favorite decade of the 20th century

I liked the shows about Egypt and King Tut and the curse that went with it I heard that the rich smoked mummy

Very good analysis of the fertile cultural conditions (flapper culture, etc) that helped the Egyptomania to set off. Also that the new technologies for spreading news and trivia made it go viral.

Similar when the King Tut Exhibit came to the US . I volunteered at the Field Museum . Egyptian themed everything was available. I still have some of it .

This channel is amazing

I reminded of an episode of Boardwalk Empire where they had a King Tut party.

"Maybe it's because King Tut just had IT" you say? ! Ha ha! That must be it! He was a sheik's sheik!

I wish I had "it".

Well, now I know how old the Egyptian Theater is in little old Delta Co.! Thanks (1928)

I was recently considering that maybe certain 'Kings' in multi-armored layers and sealed tombs, were put there to 'seal in a type of evil'. Oops. What if the four main organs removed (and placed in jars), were to intentionally dis-assemble said, evil ancient persons. ?

Even more famous than King Tut is King Rootin-Tootin the 3rd

Excellent.

This video is ⛽️

King Tut, minor as he may have been, of course is popular for the fact his tomb was pretty much intact and filled with fabulous treasure. The ancient looters had not found all the chambers. Sad, in a way; the ancient Pharaohs had put so much stock in taking all this treasure with them into an imagined afterlife, and pretty much every single burial was looted in antiquity.

That jackal statue tho ❤

No wonder the nazis seem to glorify this discovery, later on since it was founded by germans. The head or a copy was used in a german musical film made in 1942 since part of the character was an Egyptologist.

" Gloria Swanson has Egyptian proportions"... Elinor Glyn

11:49 "just has it" has it...popular saying, if you will from the 20's. The 1920 channel...I see what you did there.

good job

How did Tut become a surname , like Ronnie Tutt , Elvis's drummer

You forgot to mention the city in Tennessee's name was changed. because of Howard carter's discovery, Memphis.

The Battle of Memphis was 1862. Memphis was incorporated and named in 1826. Not 1922 at all.
