Glass from the Tomb of Tutankhamun: In Celebration of the International Year of Glass and the Centennial of the Discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun Howard Carter famously exclaimed “everywhere the glint of gold” when describing the contents of the tomb of Tutankhamun. He could instead have said “the glint of glass,” as the tomb also contained thousands of glass inlays and beads, as well as some of the most outstanding glass objects from Late Bronze Age Egypt.
On occasion of 2022 being the United Nations International Year of Glass and the centennial of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum in Mainz, Germany, Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt, and Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, USA, have partnered to create a new film highlighting the fascinating glass objects which accompanied Tutankhamun to the afterlife. We are grateful for the generous contributions of Sandro Vannini, the Griffith Institute and Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, and the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities in Egypt which made this film possible.
The video is available in English, German, and Arabic:
German: Glas aus dem Grab des Tutanchamun
Arabic: زجاج من مقبرة توت عنخ آمون
