About
“As die he who will be sound, beware of forcefully removing this stone from its place. As for he who covers it in its place, great lords of the west will reproach him very very very very very very very very much”
Tutankhamun's Curse
"Death shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the King"
About
This is one of the most famous Ancient Egyptian curses
In 1922, Howard Carter and his sponsor, Lord Carnarvon, entered King Tut’s tomb, and chose to ignore the warning on the door:
Lord Carnarvon died soon after due to a mosquito bite on his cheek and the blood poisoning which resulted from it
Other explorers and family members of Carnarvon died quickly after of “mysterious illnesses”
This curse proved a good warning for what became a series of very traumatic and painful deaths
