                                The Pharaohs’ Revenge
       One of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in history was made in
November 1922, when Howard Carter was working in the Valley of the Kings in
Egypt. After many months of work, he finally came across an unknown tomb.
       Together with his friend Lord Carnarvon, who was providing the money for the
excavations, he entered the dark chamber. At first there was disappointment, be-
cause the tomb was empty and it was clear that it had been robbed at some time in the
past. However, one of the workers eventually uncovered a small stairway that led
down to another door that had not been opened.
       Carter went down the dark staircase, walking carefully in case there were
any traps. As he opened the door, Lord Carnarvon asked if he could see anything. He
replied, "Yes - wonderful things." It was clear at once that they had discovered
what they had been looking for. The tomb of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun was full
of treasures of great value. There were over 5,000 objects of silver, gold and precious
stones which had lain there undiscovered for thousands of years.
       Lord Carnarvon’s pleasure at discovering the treasures did not last long. Many
of the local people were afraid of disturbing the pharaohs’ tombs, and believed that
the pharaohs would take revenge on anyone who entered them. Lord Carnarvon had
paid little attention to these warnings, but only a few weeks later, he suddenly fell ill
and died; at the exact time of his death, all the lights in Cairo suddenly went out, and
far away in England, his dog also died.

                                     Labour Unions
      The Industrial Revolution brought great changes in both England and the
United States. Many workers were needed to work the new machines. People from
the country went to the cities to find jobs in factories.
      Sometimes these factory workers were not well treated. Their working days
were very long. Their pay was small. The bosses did not listen to the demands of one
or two workers. In America, the workers began to band together into groups called
