Then widening the hole a little further, so that we both could see, we inserted an electric torch."

  8. The Valley of the Kings • Is where King Tutankhamen (Tut) is buried • His Tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter • This tomb was not disturbed, thus King Tut’s treasures have taught us much about Egyptian burial practices and beliefs.
