2) Howard carter's investigation resented . why ?
Answers
1. He was worried about the successful completion of the scanning of the mummy of Tut. There was a superstition that whosoever would disturb the mummy, some unfortunate or unlucky thing would happen to him or her. As feared, the CT scanner had stopped working. But after replacing the cooling fan, it worked again. And the CT scan was successfully completed. After this he heaved a sigh of relief.
2. Howard Carter was a British archaeologist who discovered Tut's tomb after a long search in 1920. His men removed the mummy’s head and severed nearly every major joint. Once his men had finished, he reassembled the remains on a layer of sand in a wooden box with padding that concealed the damage, the bed where Tut now rests. Carter's research and search operation badly damaged the mummy for ever! In his defense he said if he hadn’t cut the mummy free, thieves most certainly would have circumvented the guards and ripped it apart to remove the gold.
