In Tutkamon's tomb, for example, a mantra is inscribed: "Whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh, death will come upon him." At first, people did not take this incantation to heart, believing that these incantations were only intended to frighten the tomb robbers and save the pharaoh's and the treasures in the tomb from being moved. Yet for more than a century, the vast majority of those who entered the tombstones of the pharaohs, whether explorers, tomb robbers or archaeologists, soon contracted an incurable disease or died inexplicably in an accident. One had to wonder if this was the pharaoh's spell apparition.
It is said that the first person to fall on the curse of Tutkamon was Lord Kanafon, an Englishman who financed the archaeological project, and it is said that he mysteriously fell ill shortly after visiting Tutkamon's mausoleum, and that an 8-year-old child was crushed on the road by the funeral car for Lord Carnavin. At the same time, an even more bizarre thing happened, on the same day that Lord Kanafon suffered an unfortunate incident, when cairo, where he lived, there was a strange city-wide blackout, and Lord Kanafon's dog died mysteriously shortly after. Subsequently, Karnafon's assistant Liszt also died mysteriously, and Liszt's father jumped off a building and committed suicide.
Shortly after Lord Carnavon's death, another member of the expedition, Arthur Metz, was found mysteriously killed in a cairo hotel. Then, The Lord's friend George Gould, who had visited the Lord and entered the burial chamber, also died of a high fever. Moreover, Archibald Reed, a British scientist who had performed medical examinations on pharaohs to determine the cause of his death, also died mysteriously when he first returned to London and began analyzing the collected data.
This series of events later caused a sensation around the world, and a group of Egyptian scientists decided to find out about it, and they planned to dissect Tekamon's mummy in an attempt to solve the mystery of the king's death, but many strange things happened on the day the mummy was removed from the mausoleum. Their car that went back and forth to the "Valley of the Kings" (where many of the royal tombs of late Egypt) was almost hit by a car accident that day; In addition, on the day of the scan for the mummy, according to local people, there was a sudden strong wind in the "Valley of the Kings" in Egypt, and the roofs of many nearby houses were also blown away, and the sudden wind made scientists who never believed in evil feel incomprehensible.
But scientists certainly don't believe in any supernatural powers, and the so-called "Curse of Tutkamon," which they have been cracking. It's only in recent years that scientists have found some clues. The researchers found that Lord Carnavon was actually suffering from a chronic disease that further disrupted his immune system before setting out for Egypt. American Egyptology believes that the germs in the ancient tombs may be the cause of these people's deaths, and she believes that there are many foods and fruits in the pharaoh's burials, which decay over time and form many mold dusts in the tombs. Those who enter the tomb inevitably inhale this dust, thus infecting the lungs and dying in pain. This judgment is also evidenced by recent studies conducted by scientists in the lab, who found that fungi are often parasitic in some ancient mummies, including at least two potentially dangerous ones. He believes that the people who entered the tomb of the pharaoh may have been infected with the virus, which caused the disease and died.
In addition, scientists have also found some toxic gases inside the enclosed sarcophagus. Once these toxic gases reach extremely strong concentrations, it is possible to cause people to develop symptoms similar to pneumonia, and even to kill people. And they also found that many of the opened mausoleums were inhabited by bats. The feces of these bats contain a fungus that can cause flu-like respiratory illness, which, under the right conditions, can also kill people. They therefore believe that Lord Died of a Fungal Infection. Obviously, this claim is somewhat convincing, but despite this, fungal infections cannot explain the causes of death and other strange events of others. As for the "Spell of Tutkamon", although there are many opinions, perhaps this will also be an eternal mystery.
