(Adam) In 1798, after Napoleon invaded Egypt,

Adverbs of degree

he went totally gaga for the ancient kingdoms.

He brought in scholars to document their findings

and they helped themselves to whatever they wanted,

even returning to France with a severed mummy head

When images of the findings reached Europe,

And over the next century, hundreds of rich Europeans

started excavating Egyptian cultural sites like crazy,

pilfering thousands of priceless treasures.

Oh, fish sticks. This is very disturbing.

But what does it have to do with King Tut.

Because this Egyptomania fad led to the excavation

was pretty much ignored by grave robbers.

That's why, when Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922,

that over 5,000 separate items were found inside.

The discovery of the tomb made international headlines.

But not because Tut was historically significant.

It was because of that ancient Egyptian bling.
