In 1922 Howard Carter, a British archaeologist, discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen. Tutankhamen, also known as King Tut, was an ancient Egyptian king who died at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Carter spent fifteen years searching for his tomb. Carter thought that there must be undiscovered tombs in ancient Egypt’s royal burial ground. He was sure that a small part of it had not been searched, but most people disagreed. A few days after his crew started digging, they found the beginning of a staircase which seemed like the entrance to a tomb. When the staircase was cleared, they saw the top of a doorway. Carter’s search was paid for by Lord Carnarvon, a wealthy Englishman, so Carter immediately wired Carnarvon about his discovery. When Carnarvon arrived, Carter drilled a small hole through the door. The glint of gold could be seen everywhere. Weapons, vases, and chariots were strewn about. The tomb had been broken into. Carter thought it had been robbed twice, probably soon after the burial. A few months later the Burial Chamber of the tomb could be entered. King Tut’s body was enclosed in three coffins. The inner coffin was solid gold. When it was opened, they saw King Tut’s head and shoulders covered with a fabulous, gold funeral mask. Attached to the body and its wrappings were 143 jewels and amulets. Carter and his staff worked ten years to clean and preserve the treasures of this four-room tomb. 1. Choose the best title for this passage:
