The <strong>Boy King <\/strong>died just <strong>ten years later <\/strong>and he was buried in a <strong>golden coffin <\/strong>surrounded by <strong>5,000 priceless treasures<\/strong>, including <strong>animal statues<\/strong>, <strong>jewellery<\/strong>, <strong>clothes<\/strong>, <strong>weapons <\/strong>and even <strong>toys<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&nbsp;Some <strong>Egyptologists<\/strong> believe King Tut may have died in a <strong>chariot crash<\/strong>. But the cause of his death remains a <strong>mystery <\/strong>today!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Finding Tut&#8217;s tomb<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The<strong> <\/strong>tomb was found by British archaeologist <strong>Howard Carter <\/strong>in <strong>November 1922<\/strong>. Howard had spent many years <strong>excavating <\/strong>the tombs of Egyptian kings and queens when he came across a cup etched with the name of an obscure pharaoh &#8211; <strong> Tutankhamun<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Howard became convinced that Tut&#8217;s tomb was buried somewhere in the <strong>Valley of the Kings<\/strong>. But after <strong>8 years<\/strong> of searching he had found nothing. Then, just when he was about to <strong>give up<\/strong>, one of his crew &#8211; a young boy who was a <strong>water fetcher<\/strong> &#8211; found a <strong>stair <\/strong>carved into the rock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When Howard and his Crew entered the tomb, they were greeted with thousands of <strong>spectacular treasures<\/strong> that had been left almost untouched, more than <strong>3,300 years <\/strong>after the <strong>Egyptian Pharaoh\u2019s <\/strong>death. It was the only Ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found intact. Wow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The curse<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The discovery caused a sensation, and the little-known king instantly became the <strong>most famous<\/strong> Pharaoh on the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">With the world gripped by Ancient-Egyptian fever, <strong>the media <\/strong>were desperate to publish new, exciting stories. So when Lord Canarvon (the <strong>wealthy man <\/strong>who financed the search for Tut) died from an <strong>infected mosquito bite<\/strong> on his cheek, the newspapers invented a story that it was because <strong>Tutankhamun&#8217;s <\/strong>tomb was cursed.
