After months of carefully recording the pharaoh’s funerary treasures, Carter began investigating his three nested coffins. Opening the first, he found a shroud adorned with garlands of willow and olive leaves, wild celery, lotus petals and cornflowers, the faded evidence of a burial in March or April. When he finally reached the mummy, though, he ran into trouble. The ritual resins had hardened, cementing Tut to the bottom of his solid gold coffin. ‘’No amount of legitimate force could move them,’’ Carter wrote later. ‘’What was to be done?’’ What are the ‘funerary treasures’? What does the presence of olive and willow leaves indicate? What is implied by the term, ‘legitimate force’?
