Quiz of the Week: King Tut and His Tomb
Today's Quiz of the Week is on Tutankhamun's tomb (also spelled Tutankhamen), the best known tomb in Egypt, after the pyramids at Giza. Built during the New Kingdom for the short-term ruler (ca 1342-1325 BC), King Tut's tomb inspired all kinds of people, from the art deco movement to stand-up comic Steve Martin.
