Howard Carter

I mean, it's, it is like the Tutankhamen's tomb, you know.

I'd love to stand behind Howard Carter when he first looked inside.

You imagine being back there in, what was he, 1800s or 1930s or whatever, I don't know, when he found it.

But could you imagine he was looking for something and all of a sudden he broke a hole in the wall or something?

I'm loving it.

So it's the story of Evelyn Carter, who marries Howard Carter, who is very, I believe she marries her.

Well, I don't know if she does yet, but she must because her last name is Carter.

So it's, you know, the discovery of Tootin Commons, Carthophagus, and then the actual burial place of Hatshepsut.

Yes.

Archaeologist Howard Carter chisels this tiny hole into a sealed doorway.

He holds up a candle and he looks into the 3,000-year-old tomb of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamen.

A tomb untouched since antiquity.

Besides Andrews, there were literally dozens of swashbuckling academics and sorta-academics adventuring around the world, digging for dinosaur bones, bushwhacking through the Amazon looking for the lost city of Z, or of course digging among ancient Egyptian tombs and pyramids.

Names like Othniel Marsh, Howard Carter, and Percy Fawcett spring to mind.

Even mystery author Agatha Christie and her second husband, Max Malowan, could be counted among this adventuresome cohort.

Oregon, too, has a couple of candidates it could field as potential proto-Indiana Joneses.

In 1922, there was, uh, someone who excavated different, uh, types of tombs.

Howard Carter, his name was.

And he went, uh, to the Valley of Kings, where he excavated the, the, the tomb of, of Luxor and King, King Tut's, uh, King Tut's tomb, I think it was.

And he found a sealed container, and he's like, "What is this thing?" He opens it up, and he sees that inside it looks like a, it looks like a honey substance.

But my point is, as a teacher who is a professional and has all the training that exists there, and it doesn't mean then that a thousand individual lessons have to be generated from AI, potentially wasting water, potentially harming the environment to constantly just get generative lessons over and over again when actually using a scheme might be the best way to save time.

both of them save time one of them doesn't have environmental impacts of ai and and one of them can be assured by a team of quality professionals that you can trust rather than just i hope claude gave me a good lesson this week and it's history and it's full of history facts that you don't know and then you've got to go and spend your time making sure those historical facts are true so if you say to if you say to somebody can you please make me a a lesson on um howard carter and lord carnival and finding tootin carmen's tomb yeah You are just hoping that all of those facts are true.

Whereas if I go to a respected lesson planning site or a scheme of work, I can trust that that facts are true.

Because

Right.

When archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut's intact tomb in 1922, the financial backer of the expedition, Lord Carnarvon, died a few months later.

Which sparked a frenzy.

The global press went wild.
