Journal Article
Tutankhamun the Twentieth-Century Diplomat
2020
Overview
The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in the same year that Britain granted Egypt qualified independence with some reservations linked together Egyptology and Egyptian nationalism more than ever before. This same King became pivotal to Egypt's negotiations with the United Kingdom and the United States of America during the 1970s. This article reflects upon the landmark role of Tutankhamun in shaping Anglo-Egyptian and American- Egyptian relations in 1972 in order to demonstrate the crucial role that archaeological material plays in modern diplomacy. At this time, Egypt loaned artifacts to the British3 Museum for the first major travelling exhibition of Tutankhamun material. With this exhibition, the Tutankhamun exhibit navigated a positive turn in Anglo- Egyptian relations. Meanwhile, Egypt denied the request of the United States for Egyptian artifacts, signaling a low point in Egyptian-American relations.
