people come from all over the world to look for gold and jewels. when they find a tomb, they take all the treasure home to their countries. i think that's very bad. I'm happy to say Mr carter is not a thief. he says Egyptian treasures must stay in Egypt. i think he's right.
but our work's not going to be easy. Mr carter has only one year now to find Tutankhaman's tomb. He;s got a rich friend, Lord Carnarvon, and he gives Mr carter money to help with our work. Lord Carnarvon likes Egypt a lot and he loves old Egyptian treasures. He's got lots of them in his home in England. But after giving Mr carter money for five years he must be careful. Not long ago he called Mr carter to England and told him, 'Only one more year looking for tutankhaman, Howard.' Mr carter came bake to Egypt at once. He brought a little yellow bird with him.
