The boy said to have helped find Tutankhamun’s tomb – BBC News

Published

on



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?

    Um. many cover ups including additional tombs that lie behind hidden walls directly behind king Tut's that they are not prepared to go public with.

    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

    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.

Iran has increased attacks on shipping in the vital Strait of Hormuz, as it changes tactics to increase pressure on the United States.

Two ships are reported to have sunk within 24 hours.

Separately, the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen say they have attacked the headquarters of Saudi Arabia’s oil company, Aramco.

Severe food shortages have been reported in Yemen, by the UN, as the fighting continues to escalate.

And there are reports that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu discussed new joint strikes on Iran, although both have said they don’t favour any attacks before elections in their respective countries.
