4. In case you missed it: The federal Department of Defense’s Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office announced that would be part of a ceremony honoring his crew, missing in action since 1943, at Arlington National Cemetery in March. Although Moore’s remains were returned to Woburn in 2009, other members of the crew remained un-identified. Now, in 2011, the entire crew will be honored. Find out about it here.
5. King Tut’s tomb: On this day in 1923, English explorer Howard Carter found the tomb of King Tutaknhamen in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Carter had searched all over the Valley of the Kings for seven years before finding the tomb in 1922. On Feb. 16, 1923, he chipped away at a door, which he believed would lead to King Tut’s burial area. And, sure enough, it did. Tutankhamen, who became king when he was nine years old, was buried in a gold sepulchral chamber at the time of his death at age 18.
