Imagine you’re standing on a sandy plain in Egypt. It’s hot outside, the sun is beating down on your head from above. You look down a flight of steps leading deep into the earth. Your team has been digging for days after discovering the steps. You wonder what is at the end of them. As you walk down with a candle in hand, you see the name of an Egyptian Pharoah, or King, above the doorway. Tutankhamen! The boy king of Egypt’s history! You walk through the doorway into a dark room with your candle high, excited to see what’s inside the tomb. It’s dark and dusty. Light from the candle reflects off objects in the room. They are shining! It’s gold! The tomb is filled with brilliant treasures. Gold, jewels, after searching for years for the tomb of King Tut, you can hardly believe your eyes!
