What is going on in Tutankhamun’s tomb in ancient Egypt?

In February 1923, the tomb of the young Egyptian king Tutankhamun in Luxor was opened by an archaeological expedition led by the British Lord Carnapon after sleeping for 3,000 years. They found a chilling warning engraved at the entrance to the tomb: "Whoever disturbs the Pharaoh's sleep, death will come to him."

Prior to this, Arthur, a member of the archaeological team, ·Wegor once told the Lord about the legend about the "Curse of the Pharaoh": At the end of the 19th century, an Englishman brought another Pharaoh's coffin back to England, and his gun exploded a few days later. He lost an arm as a result. The ship carrying the coffin back home sank soon after. The house where the coffins were stored was reduced to ashes in the fire. The photographer who had taken pictures of the coffin shot himself. Everyone related to this coffin has encountered countless accidents and disasters so far.

However, before the expedition entered the depths of the tomb passage, Wegor repeatedly heard the Lord talking about the Pharaoh's curse in a contemptuous tone. Wegor warned: "If this continues, he will not survive more than two months."

Two months ago, Lord Carnapon received a letter from a famous mystic at the time. The letter said: "Lord Canaporn, you cannot enter the tomb, otherwise you will be in disaster. If you ignore the warning, you will be seriously ill, with no hope of recovery."

Although the Lord believed that the Pharaoh's curse was just a bluff. , but he still consulted a soothsayer twice, and both times it was predicted that he would die inexplicably.

Indeed, one morning in April, the Lord woke up in his hotel room and said only one sentence: "Oh, I feel so bad." When his son arrived, the Lord was no longer there. To save people's trouble, he died that night. According to doctors, his death was caused by a poisonous mosquito bite. However, people noticed that the place where the mosquito bit him was the defect on the mummy of King Tut.

Since then, deaths have followed one after another. The radiologist who had done X-rays on the Pharaoh's mummy suddenly became paralyzed, fell to the ground and suffocated to death. Richard Pitcher, who served as Lord's secretary on the expedition, died of a heart attack in his bedroom. British industrialist Joel Wool was one of the first visitors to the pharaoh's tomb. Soon he died of a high fever. Until 1930, only two members of the original expedition team to excavate the tomb were still alive.

However, half a century later, the Pharaoh's curse still has a life-threatening power. In 1970, the television station secretly interviewed 73-year-old Richard Adamson, the only lucky member of the Tutankhamun tomb excavation team, about the fatal "Pharaoh's Curse." He told reporters: "I have never believed in this myth." On the way home from the TV station, the taxi he was riding in collided with a tractor, and Adamson was thrown out of the car and fell on the road. This was the third time that Adamson, who had served as Lord Carnarbon's security guard, had to pay the price for defying the Pharaoh's curse. The first time he discussed this topic, his wife suddenly fell ill and died 48 hours later. After expressing his distrust of the Pharaoh's curse for the second time, his son broke his spine in a plane crash. The third time he fell on his head. After waking up in the hospital, he said: "I didn't believe there was any connection between the Pharaoh's curse and my family's misfortune before, but now I have to believe it."

In 1972, Pharaoh Tutankhamun's golden mask was shipped to the UK and prepared for display at the British Museum in London to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the excavation of the tomb. At this time, Pharaoh's curse once again cast terror into the world.

The person in charge of this event is Dr. Ganmar Meretz, Director of the Ancient Collection Department of the Cairo Museum. He is responsible for the custody of 20 ancient mummies in the museum. He said to others: "No one in the world has had as much experience with ancient tombs and Pharaoh's mummies as I have. Aren't I still alive and well? I never believe in any Pharaoh's curse."

On February 3, 1972, just as the golden masks were being shipped to London, Dr. Meretz died of heart failure. He was only 52 years old that year.

The exhibition activities were not interrupted by Meritz's death. A Royal Air Force transport plane was ordered to transport this priceless treasure. However, within 5 years after the completion of this mission, 6 members of the crew died or encountered great misfortune.

Sergeant Brian Longsfall, a crew member on the plane, said: "When we were flying back, a few of us played cards on the box with the masks and joked for a while. We were not Intentionally disrespectful to the Pharaoh, just for fun." Over the next four years, he suffered two serious heart attacks.

A girl on the plane became bald after a head operation and had to quit the Royal Air Force. The home of Captain Jim Webb, the navigator on board, caught fire and all his property was destroyed.

During the flight, chief mechanic Ian Lansdowne jokingly kicked the box containing the mask and boasted: "I kicked the most expensive thing in the world." Before long, Lansdowne The ladder suddenly broke when Stone was climbing up. His leg kicked off the box and broke into a fracture. He had to wear a cast for 5 months.

The driver, Rick Lowry, and the mechanic, Ken Parkinson, were even more unlucky. Parkinson's wife said: "Every year on the day of mask transportation, my husband would have a heart attack." An attack finally killed him in 1978, when he was only 45 years old. Laurie died of a heart attack two years before Parkinson's death.

His wife said: "It was Tutankhamun's curse that killed him." He was only 40 years old when he died.

How should the mysterious deaths of so many people be logically explained? After years of research, journalist Philip Vandenberg came up with a fascinating theory in his book The Curse of the Pharaohs. He believed that the environment in the pharaoh's tomb was ideal for bacterial growth. Over time, some unknown new strains of bacteria have multiplied, and to this day they still have the power to cause illness or death.

Vandenberg also believes that the ancient Egyptians were experts at concocting poisons. There is a poison that can seep into the bloodstream simply by contact with the skin. The paint on the tomb murals was mixed with poison, and the tomb was sealed immediately after it was built to maintain the potency, so its potency is still quite powerful to this day.

In 1949, nuclear physicist Luis Bargarini proposed a most extraordinary explanation for the Pharaoh's curse. He believes that it is entirely possible that the ancient Egyptians more than 3,000 years ago used nuclear radioactivity to protect their holy sites. The top of the tomb may have been covered with a layer of uranium. Or the mausoleum itself was built of radioactive rock, and the radioactivity of this ore can still hurt people today.

Did the ancient Egyptians really have such advanced science and technology? Are we really being punished for ignoring the wisdom of our ancestors? This is truly a chilling mystery.
