“After a silence of 3000 years…”
Among the remarkable treasures found in Tutankhamun’s tomb were two ornate trumpets, one made of silver and the other of bronze. In 1939, BBC radio broadcast the trumpets’ music to 150 million people listening in world wide, broadcast to “The Four Corners Of The World”. During the looting of the Cairo Museum in 2011, one of the trumpets had been stolen and has since been recovered.
