me about when Howard found the tomb. Also it will tell me about what he thought he

video gave me a much better idea about the tomb and how it was intact when Carter and
his team opened it. From this video I was able to pull information about the tomb and how
it was built. This gave me a better understanding of not only how ancient people built, but
also how the people and rulers of ancient Egypt thought and planned. This video helped
us so much, that we actually put it on our website, hoping that it would help others
understand the major idea and concept of our project.
