The year is 1922. English archaeologist, Howard Carter, lights a candle to look inside the tomb he has found, and sees something no one had seen for 3000 years. He has found Tutankhamun's tomb. And everywhere he looks, is the glint of gold! But who is Tutankhamun? And how did he live? Just like Carter, you'll discover the secrets of the 'boy king', who became pharaoh of Egypt when he was just eight years old. You'll also explore ideas about how Tutankhamun died and what happened to his tomb in the 3000 years before Carter discovered it. But what's that about a curse, you ask? Read on, if you dare...
