This playbook is designed for 7-11 year olds to read and act out within a class at school or club, or just with a group of friends. It is also fun to use individually with puppets or a toy theatre, or even make your own radio style play reading. This is the story of the Final discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Howard Carter is searching the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. Lord Caernafon arrives to take charge, the reporters are all waiting for their headlines.
It is hot, the waterboy fetches some water but he drops the jar, and history is made.

There are full instructions and photographs to help to create a ceremonial Crook and Flail for dressing up as the pharaoh.
