Discovering Tut : The Saga Continues

- A. R. Williams

Answer:

Carter removed the resins with the help of chisel and hammer.

Explanation:

• The ritual resins had hardened, cementing Tut to the bottom of his solid gold coffin. It was impossible to move them. It was put in the sun heating to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Still no use.
• Carter mentions that “the consolidated material had to be chiselled away from beneath the limbs and trunk before it was possible to raise the king’s remains.”
