- HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE – When King Tut’s tomb was discovered in 1922, it was one of the most important discoveries of all time.

It will soon be on exhibit for the first time at the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza! Also a great collector’s item for enthusiasts to add to their collection.
- STRING INCLUDED - Considered a “trompo” or “whipping top”, this top is made in a traditional design that can use a winding string to start its spin. Perfect length string is included to make the top spin incredibly well. Trompo tops have been found in archaeological sites dating back to 4000 BC and have been used all around the world. Additional video instructions are available online.
