Archaeologist Howard Carter could not think to leave King Tut's body in his tomb , fearing that thieves would be tempted to break in and steal the gold and precious jewels buried in the pharaoh's tomb . He was also worried that that intruders might harm Tut's body.

Answer:

Howard Carter could not think of leaving King Tut's body in the tomb because if he left it there, thieves most certainly would have circumvented the guards and ripped the mummy apart to remove and steal all the gold as King Tut was totally lavished with glittering golden artefacts.
