Today (December 28, 2019; note the date) two of my English classes -- using two different textbooks by two different publishers based in two different countries -- both happened to feature exercises in which the students had to practice (two different) grammar points by making sentences about Tutankhamen.

. . . and past passive sentences, too! |
(Notice also, as a subsidiary coincidence, the prominence of the numerals 3 and 4 on the two pages.)
