                                             Who stole King Tut's crown jewels?


                            Not just the gold but also a very delicate part of his anatomy

On a dusty November morning the explorers made their way down the steep slope into the ancient
tomb in the eerie half-light.

Breathless with anticipation, they broke through the wall into the burial chamber itself. Then, as their eyes became accustomed to the dusk, they saw the glint of gold.

That was how, in 1922, the great Egyptologist Howard Carter and his wealthy sponsor, the fifth Earl
of Carnarvon, discovered the mummified body of the boy king Tutankhamun, who had lain undisturbed
in Egypt's Valley of the Kings for 3,000 years, surrounded by the treasures which had been buried with him.

 Someone violated King Tut's grave, taking his ribs and his ****.

The discovery was unprecedented and the news flashed round an astonished world. Within a few weeks, however, the world had a new reason for amazement, when Lord Carnarvon died of blood poisoning.

Ostensibly, the result of a mosquito bite aggravated by a shaving accident, it was blamed on the ancient Mummy's curse.

At the exact hour of the peer's death in Cairo the city's lights mysteriously went out, while back at home at the grand family castle, Highclere in Berkshire, his little dog Rosie let out a loud wail and breathed no more.

Ever since that day myth and supposition have surrounded the life and death of Tutankhamun. For, even though a new exhibition on the boy king is about to come to Britain, very little was known, until now, about the real person behind the treasure.

Now aided by modern science, the present Earl of Carnarvon, greatgrandson of the ill-fated explorer who spent £2million of the family fortune on exhuming the king, has embarked on a quest to piece together the true story of the boy's life and death.
