A rumor spread that a curse fell upon anyone entering a pharaoh’s tomb. Is it true? In ancient Egypt, the Nile River flooded the farmlands each year, leaving behind rich topsoil. The farmers planned their growing season around the floods. The problem with the curse is that Carter, who spent years excavating the tomb, lived for many years and died peacefully. Lord Carnarvon had been in poor health for many years prior to the discovery of the tomb. Look at the pictures that show a farmer’s year. Then read each of the six captions. Cut out the captions and the pictures and paste them in the correct order on a blank sheet of paper. 2.
