Tut Centennial Celebration




It has been a hundred years since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. The tomb with the most lavish and extravagant findings that inspired the whole world. The Ministry of Tourism with the help of the American Research Center in Egypt organized a celebration for king Tut's centennial. They desired a joyful, extravagant identity for the event that is inspired by and showcased the beauty of the boy king's belongings.

King Tut was born circa 1341 B.C.E. in ancient Egypt. He was given the name Tutankhaten, then after taking power he changed his name to Tutankhamun, which means "the living image of Amun." Amun is an Egyptian deity who was revered as king of the gods. Amun’s name meant the Hidden One, and his image was painted blue to denote invisibility. This attribute of invisibility led to a popular belief during the New Kingdom in the knowledge and impartiality of Amun, making him a god for those who felt oppressed.
