All of the following are examples of the kinds of objects Howard Carter found in King Tut's tomb EXCEPT:

A- Caskets
B- Gold couches
C- Preserved food
D- Life sized statues of a king

The answer is C. Howard Carter found everything else mentioned in King Tut's tomb, except "Preserved food".

Actually, containers of food and wine were found.

There were various funeral couches found, but I'm not sure they were of gold.

In my book it says the body of the 18 year old "King Tut" had been placed in a solid gold coffin, nested within richly decorated outer coffins. Today, the dazzling array of objects found in the tomb fills several rooms in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They include chairots, weapons, furniture, jewelry, toys, games, and food. I don't see any where it saying something about the life-sized statues of a king!! I don't know if somebody could give me some proof. Thanks

I'm thinking you're right. Life sized statue is not mentioned in the National Geographic page either.

Howard Carter found a light-filled, translucent alabaster cups; elegant furniture of rare woods, dazzling jewelry, marvelous gold sculptures showing Tutankhamen as a child, as a sports-loving king, and, finally, as a buried god-king. He's also found several royal thrones, alabaster vases, chests, a dazzling gold shrine whose panels show Tutankhamen's affectionate domestic life, pieces of four chariots, and two life-size sentinel statues of Tutankhamen, which guarded the burial chamber. As for food, they only mentioned finding a red wine jar covered with redsidue found in the tomb of King Tut, I don't know if that's considered food.

From National Geographic:

"...Tut was also buried with everyday things he'd want in the afterlife: board games, a bronze razor, linen undergarments, cases of food and wine."

I had this question as well. The correct answer is C. Preserved food.

It is hard to believe this is the answer considering the one paragraph in the World History book reads this: "The body of the 18-year-old "King Tut" had been placed in a solid-gold coffin, nested within richly decorated outer coffins. Today, the dazzling array of objects found in the tomb fills serveral rooms in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They include chariots, weapons, furniture, jewelry, toys, games, and food."
