The Curse of the Mummy [antikvár]

Chapter 1 Where are Tutankhamun's treasures? August 4th 1922: The Valley of the Kings Here I am at last in the Valley of the Kings! It's a valley in the desert with lots of sand and the tombs of dead Egyptian kings in it. It took us a long time to get here, and we all felt very hot when we arrived, but that doesn't matter now. It's good to be here. I'm happy to be working with Mr Carter. Lots of young men wanted to work with him in the Valley of the Kings, but he took me because of my father. My father and Mr Carter are good friends. They often meet at the museum in Cairo. My father works there. Also, I'm a good artist. And I know a lot about Tutankhamun, too. Did you know he was a king when he was only nine years old.^ But he wasn't king for very long. He died when he was eighteen. That's only one year older than me! Why did he die then.? Perhaps we can find the answer when we find his tomb. Mr Carter thinks it's in the Valley of the Kings. He began looking for it five years ago, and he doesn't want to valley land between two hills king the most important man in a country desert a place which has no water sand it is yellow and we find a lot of it in the desert tomb where people put a dead person museum a building with old things in it artist a person who makes pictures Tutankhamun /tu:t3nka:'mu:n/
