The BBC says: “This video helps pupils to explore the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun from a different perspective. It tells the story through the eyes of a local 12-year-old boy who worked with the discovery team carrying their water. As the video progresses it helps pupils to consider the roles of others within the story. The story highlights how all members of a team have a valuable role which contributes to the overall achievements. This resource provides an opportunity for pupils to learn about the importance of historical sources and how these are used to help us to learn about the past. After watching the animation there are opportunities to explore and develop creative writing, oracy, comprehension, capacity and measuring with activities based on life at the excavation site in 1922. They can also begin to explore through ‘Personal and Social Education’ the importance of a team and its members.”

The BBC KS2 Class Clips Ancient Egypt web-page has the video and extensive teachers’ notes, suggesting further work.
