Trumpet of Tutankhamun.
This silver trumpet is one of the properties of King Tutankhamun discovered in his tomb. In 1939, after approval from the Egyptian government, the BBC requested that they allow them to display the possessions of King Tutankhamun and even test the trumpet for the first time in 3,000 years, and the Egyptian government agreed.
On August 31, 1939, the host of the British program, Rex Keating, himself blew the trumpet live in a sound heard by citizens of more than 100 countries on the face of the earth. On the second day of blowing the trumpet directly, Britain announced the World War on Germany after the invasion of Poland to begin the worst wars of modern history, World War II.
It is rumoured that one of the curators of the Egyptian Museum tried to try the trumpet after the restoration of the first of June 1967!
And according to the words of the former Minister of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, the second time since the World War that the trumpet was blown again was just before the revolution of January 25.
