Tutankhamun's Tomb

Description

Dig into the past and excavate a golden relief from the tomb of Tutankhamun! Adventures in the Valley of the Kings. In 1922, the English archaeologist Howard Carter discovered a royal Egyptian tomb which had remained untouched for more than three millennia. In a 300 pound coffin of pure gold lay the mummy of Tutankhamun who had become pharaoh at age nine and died only 10 years later, in about 1325 B.C. Carefully dig into a soft clay-like sediment, and just like on a real archaeological expedition you will unearth numerous pieces of pottery. Match the pieces, and restore your "archaeological find" with the paint and brush included. Your "archaeological find" is a relief from Tutankhamun's innermost golden coffin. It displays the goddess Isis whose outspread wings are to protect the young pharaoh on his voyage through the underworld. Actual size 12x11 inches. The user adds only simple glue and a few household materials.
