On February 16, 1923, the English archaeologist Howard Carter enters the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh King Tutankhamen. Egyptians saw their rulers, pharaohs, as gods, so upon their death the Egyptian people carefully preserved their bodies and buried them in elaborate and extravagant tombs often buried alongside their riches, and sometimes even their servants. Since this was the case these tombs were often found nearly empty, plucked clean by robbers centuries before. The reason the discovery of this tomb was so extraordinary was because it was not disturbed by grave robbers when Carter arrived.

Why does February have 28, or 29, days?
