"Egypt and Briatin next Sunday will celebrate the passing of 83 years since discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut), said Thursday Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA). In a press statement, SCA's Secretary-General Dr. Zahi Hawas said Egyptian and British cultural organizations will celebrate the discovery, which was made in 1922, through a number of activities, including a screening of a documentary regarding the king who ruled Egypt during 1332-1322 BCE. The celebration at the Egyptian Museum, he explained, will include a photo exhibition of the tomb and the process of its discovery, adding that although Tutankhamun was somewhat of a minor king in comparison to other rulers, the treasures found in his tomb made him quite a noteworthy pharaoh. To share King Tut's heritage with others, 50 of the tomb's major artifacts are being shown at international exhibitions, such as in the US, Germany, Switzerland and Britain."
