उत्तर
Howard Carter, a British archaeologist, was the first archaeologist to discover King Tut’s tomb in the year 1922. He was a great discovery but during the investigation process, he damaged the mummy to a great extent. As the body was found cemented to its gold coffin, it was impossible to move it. Finally, to separate the mummy from its adornments, Carter decided to remove its head and break nearly every major joint. Due to this his investigation was resented.
