Curse Of King Tut Explained
1. From the beginning, most Egyptians believed that if the pharaoh's tomb was damaged, the powerful pharaohs would take revenge. Because, from a very young age, they have grown up hearing this story by word of mouth. From the beginning of Carter's campaign, stories of various curses have been circulating, but no one involved has died. The first rumor was that there was a sign on the wall of the main gate of the tomb saying, "The shadow of death will fall on who wakes up the king."
It is also heard that Carter found this text in a note on the side of the tomb. Although in reality there is no basis for this.
2. An image of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis was emblazoned on it, "I am the god Anubis. I block the sand here in such a way that no one can enter this secret cell. I am the guardian of this tomb." But a journalist covered the news with a line about death. As a result, the statement reads, "I am the god Anubis. I block the sand here in such a way that no one can enter this secret cell. I am the guardian of this tomb. I will. "
Where does the business go? Blowing news hits!
3. The story of Tutankhamun's curse begins with the killing of Carter Canary by Cobra. The rumor was spread by one of Carter's Egyptian servants. In fact, Carter left his pet at work with his friend Mini Burton. No cobra-related incidents were found in Carter's diary.
4. Once the rumor spread, Tutankhamun's coffin had a cursed message in Egyptian hieroglyphics, which forced the workers to stop work for several days. But how will uneducated or poorly educated workers decipher the thousand-year-old hieroglyphics? That's why you have to be a veteran expert, you have to study a lot. So this rumor is also proved to be false in the face of truth. Again, no cursed message was found in the pictures of Tut's tomb or coffin.
5. The most turbulent is surrounding the death of Lord Carnarvon. One day while shaving, he accidentally cut a cheek with a blade. Which later takes the form of a blood infection. She died after this infection. As a result of death, the wind of the curse theory blows faster. Following the death of his dog 'Sushi' in London on the same day, the newspapers started spreading wonderful and delicious ghost stories by somehow linking the two deaths. Moreover, he was already weak in a car accident in 1903. Apart from this, he was also suffering from lung-related problems. The bacteria that grew in the coffin exacerbated his lung problems, making it normal for him to die.
6. After Carnarvon's death, another rumor spread that 'mental imbalance has spread in Cairo'. But then the disease of mental imbalance existed in Cairo.
7. Scientists have found many deadly bacteria and germs in the cemetery as no human footprints have been found in it for thousands of years. For someone with a weakened immune system, that bacterium can cause serious harm. It could also be one of the leading causes of death. According to professionals some ancient mummies carry fungal bacteria (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus), which are directly responsible for blood clotting or bleeding in the lungs. Findings of bacteria harmful to the lungs (Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus) have also been found on the tomb walls.
8. Many Egyptians believe that the legend of all the mummy curses spread in England a hundred years before the discovery of mummies. Some English writers then started writing all the mysterious and thrilling stories about mummies. Of particular note is the book Lost in a Pyramid by author Luiza Elcott. In that story, Pharaoh's disembodied spirit kills a married couple trapped in a maze of pyramids!
9. Author Mary Corelli talks about the untimely death of Lord Carnarvon, the first of the stars. Or he had an Arabic book in his possession, from which he learned how terrible the curse of a mummy could be. He put the question to the public, how could Lord Carnarvon be killed by just a mosquito bite? The question gives rise to more mysteries in the minds of curious people. There were newspapers in England and America to mix with it for the purpose of establishing business interests.
10. The media and newspapers were at the forefront of spreading rumors about the curse. Every newspaper wanted to cover Tutankhamun's news on the front page. Because, at that time, it was one of the hot-topics in the world. The excavation work had to face many difficulties as all the famous and expensive media of the world jumped in. Lord Carnarvon was very upset. So, he signed a deal with The Times, a London-based newspaper. According to the agreement, only The Times journalists will be able to enter the tomb. Other newspapers were unhappy with the move, as they had to look to The Times like crows for all the news about the mummy. Unable to find a way out or out of anger, they started publishing all the weird, weird, and absurd news about the tombs.
11. Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, also succumbed to the rumors. According to him, Lord Carnarvon died as a result of Tutankhamun's curse. The rumors became louder and louder.
12. According to a 2002 article in the British Medical Journal, most of the 44 people involved in the excavations died of natural and adulthood. And those who lost their lives in an accident also died within 10 years of excavation.
13. Richard Adamson, another member of the excavation team, guarded Tut's tomb for seven years in a row. He lived another 60 years.
14. Many Egyptians believe that Carter, the thief, deliberately spread the curse in order to save the chamber from being looted by robbers.
15. George J., the owner of the railway company. Gold had a cold in Cairo, followed by pneumonia. Sulfur drugs or penicillin were not invented then. Conventional medicine could not save him. Such deaths were normal in those days.
16. Professor James Brested of the University of Chicago was actively involved in the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb. He died on 3 December 1935 in an attack by Streptococcus bacteria. He was died at 70 years of age. The existence of that bacterium has been found in the coffin.
17. Sir Edward A. Buzz (69) and Professor P. E. Newberry (60) are two people who have studied Tut's tomb. Both died naturally and at normal age. In the words of Professor Baz, "I moved the mummy. But no curse touched me."
Dozens of other deaths and accidents are intertwined with the discovery of the tomb, and many stories and mysteries are prevalent at that time, which still remain. However, the analysis shows that only two visitors died in the first 10 years after the discovery of the tomb and almost all of the deaths were normal.
