He was brave and loved to visit and explored new places. During his life, he discovered many amazing things. Howard Carter did not go to school, but learnt to draw from his father, who was an artist. He was bright and curious about the world outside his hometown. In 1891, at the age of 17, he set sail for Alexandria, Egypt. By the 1920s, he had bee an explorer, searching for the tombs of the Egyptian kings. He found several important ones. Inside the tombs, he discovered a great fortune in jewels and gold, along with the preserved bodies of dead kings. These preserved bodies are known as mummies. In 1922, Howard Carter made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. He had received money from Lord Carnarvon, a British man who was very interested in Egypt. Carter39。 said Carter. ‘After we loo ked into the tomb, we closed it and hid its entrance. We wanted to study the tomb later when we had more time. Afterwards, all of its contents would go into a museum.’ However, not long after the discovery, people in Carter39。s lucky pet bird, which had left in Cairo, was swallowed by a snake. Then, a few months after Carter had opened the tomb, Lord Carnarvon, who was also present when the tomb was opened, fell ill with a fever and died in Egypt. At the moment of Carnarvon39。s secretary, Richard Bethell, died of heart trouble four months after the tomb was opened. Arthur Mace, another member of the team, also died shortly after the discovery. Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Howard Carter, however, lived on until the age of 65. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were in connection with a mummy39。s hospital in Kentucky for several years. However, her interest in animals, and the writings of an American scientist called Gee Schaller, inspired her to take the first step towards her future work. In 1966, she went to Africa to study rare mountain gorillas. Even though some of the gorillas were quite dangerous, this did not discourage Dian. She showed great devotion to her work and loved to tell people about gorillas. Because the gorillas had interested her so much, Dian decided to study for a PhD. After she finished her degree, she wrote a book about the gorillas she had lived with. She later returned to Africa. However, she was murdered in 1985. Dian Fossey is still alive in our hearts to this day. Thanks to her research, we now know more about mountain gorillas. They are also protected by governments and various anizations. Without her work, there would be very few mountain gorillas left today.
