Clearly state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc. In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made archaeological discovery of being the first man in nearly 3,300 years to view the tomb of Tutankhamen. (CSI EGYPT, 2003). My first theory relates to the results of Cooper and King, the crime solving team from Utah, they claim that they have found critical new evidence of foul play which they believe to be murder.

There were two sets of battle themed carvings that survived from King Tuts mortuary temple. The first one depicting a
