From Treasures of the Tomb Test

The tomb was extremely cluttered.

Carter was surprised and amazed by the vast amount of gold and other precious artifacts that he saw.

Lord Carnarvon received a curse for going into Tut's tomb.

Because 2.5 million people have visited the tomb.

"His hands trembling, British archaeologist Howard Carter makes a small hole in the tomb's second door."

"What Carter sees looks like the inside of a giant treasure chest."

"It has taken five years of digging in Egypt's Valley of the Kings- a graveyard for ancient Egypt's richest kings-and $500,00 (in today's money)......."

"One side of the burial chamber is an open doorway."

"Today 2.5 million people visit Egypt's Cairo Museum each year to see Tut's treasures on display."

"He has discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun."

"There are glittering statues, a throne, and fabulous golden beds with posts shaped like the heads of wild animals."

"The explorers are fascinated by two tall statues in the antechamber showing Tut dressed in gold."

The pharaoh named Tutankhamun and the people he ruled never went hungry.

Ancient Egyptians believed that ordinary objects could be useful even after death.

Ancient Egyptians always placed thousands of everyday objects in the coffins of their dead.

The objects in the annex were worth as much money as the objects in the treasury.

"The shrine holds Tut's liver, lungs, stomach, and intestines."

"A mound of chariot parts fills one corner."

"A collar made from 171 separate gold pieces rests on the mummy's chest."

"Soon known as the annex, this tiny chamber holds more than 2,000 everyday objects."

The discovery of the treasure was a benefit because it kept grave robbers from looting other ancient tombs.

King Tut's tomb should have remained sealed to keep people from making up stories about a curse.

Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon stole King Tut's treasures, just as the ancient tomb robbers had tried to do.

The discovery of King Tut's tomb was a benefit because it has helped to get people interested in Egypt.
