4. Bus trips have their plusses and minuses. On the plus side, Chris and I were able to visit the Grand Canyon during our short vacation to Las Vegas. On the minus side we spent 10 ours on our backsides riding in a bus to get to the Grand Canyon and back. We also got a short glimpse of Joshua Trees and the Hoover Dam. My view of the Hoover Dam was from the wrong side of the bus and I got an extremely flawed view of the magnificent structure.
5. Today in History. British archaeologist Howard Carter and his workmen discover a step leading to the tomb of King Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt on November 4, 1922.
When Carter first arrived in Egypt in 1891, most of the ancient Egyptian tombs had been discovered, though the little-known King Tutankhamen, who had died when he was 18, was still unaccounted for. After World War I, Carter began an intensive search for “King Tut’s Tomb,” finally finding steps to the burial room hidden in the debris near the entrance of the nearby tomb of King Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings. On November 26, 1922, Carter and fellow archaeologist Lord Carnarvon entered the interior chambers of the tomb, finding them miraculously intact.
