When King Tut's tomb was opened by Howard Carter in 1922, a large box full of boomerangs was discovered. Most of these were non-returning hunting sticks used for waterfowl, but there were also a few smaller models that were capable of a return flight. The collection of boomerangs is housed in the National Museum in Cairo. Jacques Thomas spent more than a year carefully studying the collection of King Tut's boomerangs. Jacques wrote a book titled " The boomerangs of a Pharaoh " in 1991. The book is available in both English and French. This is a must read text. Jacques published plans for some of the boomerangs and he describes the flight characteristics of one of the returners.

This hunting boomerang is a natural elbow similar to the boomerangs that Egyptians used to hunt water fowl. Both sides have Egyptian hieroglyphics. This possibly matches the art depicted on one of the King Tut boomerangs. This boomerang was made by Luc Cormier and it is a valuable complement to the Jacques Thomas book.
