Tutankhamen: One of
the greatest
archeological finds
made by Howard Carter
Why Carter’s search is called
one of the greatest
archeological hunts.
 It ! one of " greatest archeological hunts because he f$nd "


 Pharaoh Tutankhamen Tomb who was an unkno% Pharaoh.


 Ca&er f$nd $t he ex!ted 'r$gh a faience cup; a piece of gold


 foil and a cache of funerary items .He 'en f$nd h! tomb, which


 was filled wi' gold, )ches, jewels and paintings.
How Carter found the tomb

He found the tomb on his last
season of funding. A water carrier
then found the steps to the tomb
and followed them. This led to
Tutankhamen’s Tomb and inside was
the mummy of Tutankhamen.
Why its discovery was so
important

 King Tutankhamen’s tomb which was
 discovered by Carter was undisturbed
 by grave robbers. This led to a better
 understanding of ancient Egypt.
 Because a lot of tombs where robbed
 they could not really gather
 information on Egyptians where we
 could not before. Such as religion,
 beliefs, how they lived, what they did
 and so on.
