TUTANKHAMUN’S TOMB 1

In 1917, British archaeologist Howard Carter and the wealthy aristocrat, Lord Carnarvon,
started searching for Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt. Years passed without them
making any progress and Carnarvon wanted to give up. But Carter asked him to keep going
for a few more months. 7.1. ____ They tried to pick it up, but it did not move. They realized it
was, in fact, a step. They continued digging and discovered more steps which led them to
a doorway with a name over it: Tutankhamun.
But the explorers weren’t sure if there would be anything valuable inside. Almost all the
ancient tombs had been found and robbed. Also, the door in front of which they were
standing showed signs of damage. 7.2. ____ Carter later wrote: “Details of the room showed
up slowly in the dark – strange animals, statues, and lots of shiny gold ornaments.”
The ancient Egyptians believed in life after death, so they put everything they thought that
a pharaoh might need into the tomb with him. 7.3. ____ They also thought that the pharaoh
would want his throne, statues, and jewellery, so they put them in the tomb as well.
It turned out that the tomb had been broken into at least twice. Luckily, the thieves hadn’t
taken much out of the tomb thanks to the guards who had protected it. Carter and Carnarvon
spent over two months cataloguing more than 600 objects in the tomb. But there was no sign
of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. So, they began looking around the tomb for a second
door. 7.4. ____ Inside, there were three golden coffins and the mummy of Tutankhamun.
Carter and Carnarvon’s long search was finally over.
