In 1923 on this day, Howard Carter opened King Tut's tomb...
...spooky. I think I had originally said this was back in November of 1922... but just to get the dates right. In November 1922 they found the steps to the entrance of a tomb, which turned out to eventually lead them to Tut's chamber on this day in 1923 they opened it up.
Mummies were often wrapped up in cloth , I wonder if it would have been better to use nylon.
Well, aside from the fact that Carothers didn't get to patent it until many centuries later.
This day in 1937 is when Carothers (working at DuPont at the time) patented the polymer. He had 'invented' it on February 28, 1935 and was able to file for patent on this day... the patent wouldn't be awarded until September 1938.
