THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMENT’S TOMB

THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMENT’S TOMB.

Howard Carter, perhaps the most famous archaeologist of all time, STARTED OUT as an artist and in 1891 he set off for Egypt to paint the pyramids. However, he soon became Head Inspector of Upper Egypt Monuments.

In 1908 he met Lord Carnarvon, who put up the money for Carter’s biggest dream- the search for Tutankhamen’s tomb. However, in 1922 Carnarvon wanted to CALL OFF the expedition. He was beginning to believe the tomb would never be found. Carter TALKED HIM INTO continuing the search and on 4 November, 1922 Carter’s hard work PAID OFF. Finally, he stood at the entrance to the tomb

With the discovery came stories of a curse. Above the entrance to the tomb Carter CAME ACROSS and inscription – ‘Death Shall Come on Swift Wings To Him Who Disturbs the Peace of the King’. A few months later Carnarvon PASSED AWAY after being bitten by an insect. At exactly the same time as he died all the lights in Cairo WENT OUT.It was the first of several mysterious deaths TIED IN WITH the discovery of the tomb.
