An expedition conducted by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922 uncovered Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt. The tomb's discovery yielded a plethora of information on ancient Egypt's burial rituals and procedures, as well as other topics. A collection of wooden, silver, and bronze trumpets were among the astonishing artifacts found during the search.

In order for people all over the world to hear the sound of this extraordinary and ancient instrument, the BBC Radio recorded the sound of one of the trumpets in 1939. A legend that trumpets had the magical ability to call forth war formed after the Second World War started just several months after the trumpet was played. The trumpets of Tutankhamun are not only an example of some of the oldest trumpets in the world, but they also have a mystery because of the legend.
