On Friday 15th March, 4S did their class assembly. It was all about the finding of the tomb of Tutankhamun. The archeologist who found the tomb was called Howard Carter and his sponsors Lord Canavan and Lady Canavan. They looked around the Valley of the Kings and came upon a tomb. Howard saw great things inside the tomb and when they went inside they had a big shock. There was many things in the tomb and they had a shock when the hieroglyphics talked to them on the wall. Then the mummy of Tutankhamun came and talked to them telling them information about his life ruling egypt. Some information was about his personal life and life as Pharoah. He was crowned at the age of 9. 9! He also married his sister who was 13 because he needed to keep the line of Pharoahs the same blood. He ruled for 10 years and died unexpectantly at 19. He was buried in a tomb that wasn't meant for him in the valley of the kings. Scientists these days believe in many reasons why he died so young like, his uncle Ai killed him so he could have the throne earlier, he could of died of a wounded leg and he died because he had hurt his head. Either of these could be the correct answer and scientists are still working on finding the solution.

After this Carter explained that the treasures that he had found in the tomb had to be taken to be on display at mueseums so people could know about him and his rule. Tutankhamun reluctantly agreed as he thought it may appear babyish to keep old house hold items.
Then Osiris king of the dead appeared. He weighed Tutankhamun's heart against the feather of truth, it was lighter so Tutankhamun got through to the afterlife.
To finish they danced to The Bangles walk like an egyptian.
