Who found king tut mummy ?what problem did he face ?

Howard Carter found King Tut's mummy. Carter faced many problems when he reached the mummy of King Tut. The resins used to embalm the mummy had hardened ,making it difficult to take the body out of the solid gold coffin . So, he decided to place the mummy in scorching heat to loosen the raisins. But this did not helped at all. Therefore, the body had to be cut . The cut body was then removed in parts and reassembled. The reassembled body was put in the wooden box before it was once again kept in the original place. All this took a lot of time and effort. Later the secretary of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities accused Carter for damaging the mummy because of chiseling involved. Hope it helps!!!
