Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty during the new kingship of ancient Egypt, who reigned for a short time from the age of nine to his death at the age of nineteen, and he did not have outstanding political achievements in his life, but his popularity far exceeded that of other pharaohs. All this is because of Tutankhamun's curse.
The story begins with a man named Howard Carter.
Howard Carter, an archaeologist nearly obsessed with the search for Tutankhamun's burial chamber, met Lord Georges Carnavin from England just as he was resigning from his job as a relics inspector. With financial assistance from Lord Georges Carnavon, Carter led an archaeological team to the Valley of the Kings to excavate tutankhamun's mausoleum, which had never been discovered. Finally, in 1922, with the unremitting efforts of the archaeological team, the entrance to the Tutankhamun Mausoleum, which shocked the world, was found.
After the tomb door is opened, people are shocked by the exquisite funerary products in the tomb, and each room in the cemetery is filled with tens of thousands of furniture, utensils, statues, weapons, royal staffs and other funerary products with unique shapes and exquisite workmanship, all decorated with gold and silver pearls and jade, and its luxury and integrity are jaw-dropping.
No one noticed the inscription at the entrance to the tomb that read, "Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, death will come upon him." At first, no one would believe such a thing, and the archaeologists thought that such nonsense was used to scare the timid grave robbers, who ignored it and continued their excavations.
Until the wings of death fell on them, the first to suffer was the patron of the archaeological operation, Lord Georg Carnavin. A few months after the burial chamber door was opened, Lord Carnavon launched a high fever. He was then sent to Cairo for treatment, but the results became more and more serious, and he died under the torture of a high fever. It is said that he kept shouting during the high fever: "I heard his call, I am going with him." Later, people were surprised to find that the place where Lord Kanafon was bitten was in the same place as the scar on Tutankhamun's face.
However, the weird death game has only just begun...
Lord Carnarvon's death did not stop the excavations. Soon after, two of Lord Carnavon's brothers also died mysteriously. When Lord Carnavon's friends learned of his death, they rushed to Cairo and stopped by to visit Tutankhamun's mausoleum. The next day, a high fever was initiated, and the heartbeat stopped in less than half a day. A few years later, Carnavon's wife also died mysteriously, which is said to be very similar to Carnavon's death.
By the end of 1930, 22 people who were directly or indirectly involved in the pharaonic tombs were dead. Scientists speculate that the ancient Egyptians were experts in poison making, and they could concoct a poison that could penetrate the human body with only skin contact, mix them into paint, and paint them on murals, and those who accidentally touched those murals or inhaled the bacteria that caused death died.
