The Tomb of Tutankhamun
KV62 is the tomb of
Tutankhamun in the Valley of
the Kings (Egypt), which
became famous for the wealth
of treasure it contained.[1] The
tomb was discovered in 1922
by Howard Carter, underneath
the remains of workmen's huts
built during the Ramesside
Period; this explains why it
was spared from the worst of
the tomb depredations of that
time. KV is an abbreviation for
the Valley of the Kings.

2. The Statue of the Christ
The proposal for a landmark statue on
the mountain was made in 1921 by the
Catholic Circle of Rio. The group
organized an event called Semana do
Monumento ("Monument Week") to
attract donations and collect signatures
to support the building of the statue.
The donations came mostly from
Brazilian Catholics. The designs
considered for the "Statue of the Christ"
included a representation of the Christian
cross, a statue of Jesus with a globe in
his hands, and a pedestal symbolizing
the world. The statue of Christ the
Redeemer with open arms, a symbol of
peace, was chosen.

4. Brazil's first Olympics
Brazil's first Olympics was
the 1920 Games in Antwerp
when they were
represented by 16 athletes
competing in swimming,
diving, rowing, water polo,
and shooting.
Brazil's first Olympic
champion was Guilherme
Paraense who won gold in
30 meter military pistol
shooting at the 1920
Games.

5. The Nobel Prize in Physics
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1921
was awarded to Albert Einstein
"for his services to Theoretical
Physics, and especially for his
discovery of the law of the
photoelectric effect".
Albert Einstein received his Nobel
Prize one year later, in 1922.
During the selection process in
1921, the Nobel Committee for
Physics decided that none of the
year’s nominations met the
criteria as outlined in the will of
Alfred Nobel. According to the
Nobel Foundation's statutes, the
Nobel Prize can in such a case be
reserved until the following year,
and this statute was then applied.
Albert Einstein therefore received
his Nobel Prize for 1921 one year
later, in 1922.
