Sensa King Tut Ballpoint Pen

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the discovery and excavation of the burial chamber of the world’s most famous pharaoh, Sensa presents the limited edition King Tut Ballpoint Pen in dramatic lapis blue with gold-plated trim. On November 26, 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his team discovered the doorway to the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile. On February 16, 1923, Carter finally came face-to-face with the doorway leading to the tomb’s inner burial chamber and unsealed it. What he and his team were met with was the most well-preserved and intact tombs ever found. King Tut ruled Egypt as pharaoh for 10 years until his death at age 19, around 1324 B.C. He was barely known to the modern world until Carter's discovery. The tomb’s hoard of treasure, intended to accompany the king into the afterlife, revealed an incredible amount about life in ancient Egypt and became one of the wonders of the modern world. The treasures and artifacts now reside in the collection of the Cairo Museum. Limited edition of just 150.
