#3 Social Studies (You do)

• When most people think of Egypt they always think of King Tut!! Even if people don't know much about ancient Egypt, most of them still have heard of King Tut.

Who was King Tut & why does everybody know who he was?

Key Questions:

1. Why is King Tut one of the best known Kings/Pharaohs of ancient Egypt?
2. Who discovered King Tut's tomb?
3. What did the archeologist find inside the tomb?
4. What do you think the archeologists learned from King Tut's tomb?

Now consider this...

Did Howard Carter unleash an ancient curse when he opened the tomb of King Tut?
