My story:

the quest for King Tut’s tomb. So, Carter embarked on his prior digging in the
sandbox which was the Valley of the Kings.
It was at a heavy price and as failure recurred, his sponsor Lord Canarvan began to
dispair. Then came that cine moment. The tomb was found with the full panoply of a pharaoh.
Golden filigree was omnipresent, giving panache to the grave goods.

After WW1, the Egyptians voted to OK Westeners to re-start the search for King Tut’s tomb.
So, Carter went back to his former digs in the dusty playpen which was the Valley of the Kings.
It was very expensive work and as the former failure continued again, his backer Lord Canovan
started to have doubts. Then came that cinamatic event. The tomb was found with a full set of burial gear of a pharaoh. Golden coverings were everywhere giving the grave goods an impressive appearance.
