Archaeologists enter tomb of King Tut | November 26, 1922 |

In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon become the first souls to enter King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years. Tutankhamen’s sealed burial chambers were miraculously intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the mummy of the teenage king.

What We are Reading

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

If you could use a laugh - go back to Cold Comfort Farm -Published in 1933 - a hilarious portrait of British Country Life in the 30s. It may be easier to find at the library or on your Kindle - but we love this cover by Roz Chast for the 4th edition
