Description
After opening the tomb of the Egyptian King Tutankhamun and removing the pharaoh’s
sarcophagus after three-millennia of undisturbed rest, the members of the exploratory team were
gripped by a sudden wave of mortality. Rumors of a “curse of the pharaohs” ignited the public
imagination and spread like wildfire. Though the myth of the “curse of the pharaohs” has been
debunked by the normal lifespans of most team-members, the idea that a long-dead king could
wield deadly spiritual powers against the living both captivated and alarmed audiences across the
world.
