Frank Sinatra died in 1998 at age 82 and was buried in a cemetery
not far from Palm Springs, California. Possibly to aid him on his
journey to the afterlife, the late superstar was buried with a pack
of Camel cigarettes and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Loaded with two
of his best companions, his epitaph was derived from one of his
classic hits, “The Best Is Yet To Come.”

Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg is currently serving as
the 19th United States secretary of transportation.

On February 16, 1923, in Thebes, Egypt, English archaeologist
Howard Carter (above) entered the sealed burial chamber of the
ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen.

Despite rumors that a curse would befall anyone who disturbed
the tomb, its treasures were carefully catalogued, removed and
included in a famous traveling exhibition called the “Treasures
of Tutankhamen.” The exhibition’s permanent home is the
Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
