No land on Earth possess more wonders than Egypt wonders long hidden but revealed occasionally in a glint of gold or a curious tale. Our story begins with a death the death of an unusual boy. Worshipped as the son of Re, the Sun god he was a pharaoh of Egypt 3,000 years ago. We don't know how he died, only that his death was sudden and mysterious. His body was preserved in the manner of other pharaohs and priests anointed his coffin to prepare him for his final journey into the world of the dead. The rituals had to be finished before his father the Sun, descended into darkness. So this young pharaoh was secured in his tomb surrounded by kingly treasures and his seal was pressed into its entrance. From that time on it was to be a place of peace hidden and undisturbed throughout eternity. This young King's name was Tutankhamen. For 3,000 years, King Tut and his tomb in the Valley of the Kings remained concealed beneath shifting sands. Other tombs were discovered and completely pillaged but not his. Believing he could find it, an Englishman named Howard Carter mounted five arduous expeditions but they yielded nothing. In 1922, he returned to Egypt for a sixth attempt. That year he brought a beautiful canary to brighten his spirits.
