Radar Scans Suggest Two Hidden Chambers in King Tut's Tomb! Possible Discovery of the Century?

Very exciting news! I have always been fascinated with ancient Egypt and mummies. Archaeologists(3/16/16) say radar scans show "90%" chance of two hidden chambers in Tut's Tomb! Hopefully, more information will be announced in the coming weeks. It is being called the possible "Discovery of the Century". There is talk that the mummy of Queen Nefertiti(a wife of King Tut's father) and her treasures MAY be hidden in these chambers!  
Wow...I am so excited about the prospects of this discovery!
Learn about King Tut. Practice oral reading fluency in Language Arts with this biographical reader's theater on King Tut.Learn lots of cool facts about mummies and the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Comprehension/discussion questions/ extension activities,Great for informative text/listening standards.

If you aren't a social studies teacher, the Reader's Theater Script might be something for an " In the News" or Friday activity. Kids love mummies.

Also have a FREEBIE: My King Tut Day(yes, there is one!) resource could be used as a possible Interactive Notebook Activity if you are discussing this news story. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Amazing-Mummy-Facts-906580
