Carter faced a lot of difficulties in separating Tut's mummy from its coffin. First of all, he tried to use the intense heat of the Egyptian sun to loosen the resins. For several hours he set the mummy outside in blazing sunshine that heated it to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Nothing budged. Finally, he had to chisel the consolidated material away from beneath the limbs and trunk before it was possible to raise the king’s remains.

All this procedure badly damaged King Tut’s mummy. Carter justified it saying if he had not secured the gold treasures, the thieves would have damaged the mummy beyond any restoration.

It was the richest royal collection ever found and became a part of the pharaoh;s legend. Stunning artefacts, their eternal brilliance was meant to guarantee resurrection which caused a sensation at the time of the discovery.

Einstein's behavior towards his teacher seemed to be extremely disobedient. Even though it was unruly, out told everything truthfully and honestly. He didn't believe in the prevailing system of education. He explained precisely what he had thought. He found negotiating the facts and dates of history is not education and is useless. He believed in reasoning.

When he had a heated argument with his history teacher, he became so confused and flushed. He said that he gave less importance to attend school which he didn't mind not attending at all.

From the conversation that he had with the maths teacher, we can know that the only subject which he was interested was maths and he never wasted his time during his maths class. He paid his complete attention to him. He learnt out only because maths isn't a subject that he memorize it by heart.

When he was expelling from school, he had a meeting with his head teacher. He said that Einstein's presence in class made it impossible for the teacher tho teach. He didn't even utter a single word. Thus, he had a lot of self control. He was polite enough to answer his teacher's questions respectfully. The frankness and the honest nature project him to be disrespectful to his teachers. But he is so obedient too bring out his well defined thoughts.

The author says this because Albert was short on money and yet he had spent some so that he could get a medical certificate to escape from school. When he was expelled from school without the need to produce any kind of medical reasons, it burnt " a hole in his pocket" because he had spent money on something that was entirely unnecessary.

Mr. Koch was Einstein’s mathematics teacher. He was a great man, probably who was not jealous of Einstein’s knowledge. He admired Einstein’s knowledge and regretted his not able to teach what he wanted to learn and sympathized with him for this school’s not able to provide his kind of education. Apart from this, Mr. Koch gave him such a certificate that helped Einstein secure a seat in a university.
