Prohibition 1920-1933

Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933) Selling, manufacturing, or transporting (including importing and exporting) alcohol for beverage purposes was prohibited by the Eighteenth Amendment. Though drinking and possession of alcohol were not prohibited by the Constitution.  During the 1920’s and the beginning of the Depression, rum running was to be Detroit’s second largest industry next to automobiles, reaping 215 million dollars in 1929. Violent crime soared as organized gangs virtually took over the city, buying off policemen and collecting protection fees from citizens.

King Tut Tomb Discovered 1922

February 16: 1923 : Archaeologist opens tomb of King Tut in Thebes, Egypt. English archaeologist Howard Carter enters the sealed burial chamber of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen. Because the ancient Egyptians saw their pharaohs as gods, they carefully preserved their bodies after death, burying them in elaborate tombs containing rich treasures to accompany the rulers into the afterlife. In the 19th century, archaeologists from all over the world flocked to Egypt, where they uncovered a number of these tombs. Many had long ago been broken into and stripped of their riches.

When Carter arrived in Egypt in 1891, he was convinced there was at least one undiscovered tomb that of Tutankhamen, or King Tut, who lived around 1400 BC and died when still a teenager. When Carter entered the tomb's  chambers they were thrilled to find it intact with its treasures untouched after 3,000 years.


Inside lay a sarcophagus with three coffins inside one another. The last coffin, made of solid gold, contained the mummified body of King Tut. Among the riches found was gold jewelry, statues, a chariot, weapons, clothing and the perfectly preserved mummy one ever to be discovered. Despite rumors that a curse would befall anyone who disturbed the tomb, its treasures were carefully catalogued and included in a traveling exhibition called the "Treasures of Tutankhamen."
