The boy said to have helped find Tutankhamun’s tomb – BBC News
Egypt is celebrating the centenary year of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s burial chamber.
When the archaeological dig began on 4 November 1922 it led to the discovery of the famous tomb, which is over 3,000 years old.
The tomb has helped archaeologists who study ancient objects, materials and buildings, understand more about Ancient Egypt and it has also become a famous symbol for Egypt’s identity and influence around the world.
A 12-year-old local boy is said to have played a crucial role in the excavations, but who was he?

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Woke nonsense, we discovered it and the Arabs sat on it not understanding even how to read hieroglyphics for centuries. it shows that when you discard anything you consider pagan you won't learn much from the ancients

What? Does Britain have to pay reparations to this boy's family for the discovery? 😁

Add the boy's discovery to the story but he shouldn't get credit for finding the tomb.
Carter was an archaeologist who charted an entire exhibition. Just because he physically didn't fall in the hole, doesn't mean he doesn't deserve the credit
@TheTraveller20081

If you're going to count 'finding a hole' as 'discovering a tomb', then really it was the donkey that discovered it. If Carter's expedition wasn't there, the kid on the donkey wouldn't have been there. It Carter wasn't there when one day someone's donkey did find the hole, the locals would have ransacked the tomb and the whole lot would have been lost, just like so many other ancient tombs in Egypt and elsewhere.
