Answer:
Howard Carter put King Tut's body in the hot sun so as to melt the resins.
Step-by-step explanation:
Howard Carter is a Briton, an Egyptologist and an Archeologist. This means that he is an expert on the literature, religion, history and culture of Egypt. As an Archaeologist, he goes to certain geographical locations, digs up a lot of dirt and sometimes artefacts and things which people who lived in that location used. These things can tell a lot about those who used them.
In one of his Archeological expeditions, he excavated the remains of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (or King Tut) who lived between 1342 – c. 1325 BC.
In Ancient Egypt, Resins were frequently used in mummification. King Tuts mummified body had been buried in three coffins. Two of which had been sealed by the resin and ointments.
In the hope that the resins and ointments which sealed up King Tuts body will melt and allow access to the body, Howard Carter placed the coffins in the hot sun.
