Personally, I agree that there are fungi in the tomb. Even after thousands of years, when we go down to the tomb of the Valley of the Kings, we can still smell the strange smell in the dreary air.
Especially when entering the tunnel inside the Great Pyramid, many people who are in poor health will still have difficulty breathing and even get sick.
Modern archaeologists will wear protective clothing, masks, gloves and so on when they enter the tomb for the first time.
The source of the curse on Tutankhamun's tomb is taken from Baidu Encyclopedia.
Why did the diggers of Tutankhamun's mausoleum die one after another? The discovery of Tutankhamun's mausoleum is undoubtedly the most exciting archaeological discovery in the 20th century. After this discovery caused a great sensation, the "Pharaoh's curse" also appeared. This creepy topic, together with the best-preserved funerary objects and the so-called mysterious murder, has become an important factor in making the name Tutankhamun widely known.
For most diggers of Tutankhamun's mausoleum, the "Pharaoh's curse" is a nightmare hanging over their heads. From the moment they entered the grave, they died one after another for a period of time. These mysterious events are related to the incantations carved in Tutankhamun's mausoleum. After being reported by the media, countless people talked about it. For a time, the "Pharaoh's curse" caused a sensation all over the world.
It is said that on 1922, 165438+1October 27th, that is, when Carter's excavation arrived at the front hall of the mausoleum, there was a clay nameplate hanging behind two tall statues, on which was written a warning in cuneiform of ancient Egypt: "I am the guardian of King Tutankhamun, and I drove away the grave robbers with desert fire." Nobody took this curse seriously at that time.
1923 When Tutankhamun's secret room was opened in February, another nameplate was found above the secret room. A few days later, the content of the inscription was translated, which was the second terrible curse: "Whoever disturbs Pharaoh's sleep, death will spread its wings over his head."
In order not to cause panic, Carter did not announce the results of the text translation at that time. However, during the subsequent excavation, Carter and other experts discovered two curses, warning disrespectful people to give up digging graves. Carter still doesn't care.
However, on the day when Tutankhamun's secret room was opened, when the splendid "golden wall" was displayed in front of everyone, a poisonous mosquito bit Lord Canafan's face. After that, canavan suffered from septicemia. He had a high fever and his teeth fell off one by one. It seems that he is extremely tired and seems to have been frightened in some way. His spirit and body became very bad. In early March, canavan moved to Cairo, but his neck began to swell and he contracted pneumonia. His wife came to Cairo from England, and so did his son from India. In late March, the high fever in Kanafan soared to 40 degrees Celsius for 12 days. According to the doctor, it was the count who cut the wound while shaving that caused the infection. On March 20th, Carnaveen's wife informed Carter that Carnaveen was suffering from septicemia, so Carter also went to Cairo. At 2: 00 am on April 4, Kanafan passed away in a coma for more than 10 hour. At that moment, the whole of Cairo suddenly fell into darkness and the power was cut off for five minutes. It is also reported that his dog in England died at the same time. Incredibly, Canavan kept on shouting with a high fever before he died: "I heard his voice, and I want to go with him."
Lord canavan became the first person to be cursed by the Pharaoh. "The increasingly developed newspapers immediately published such news. Most newspapers write on the front page with eye-catching headlines: "The pharaohs have begun to take revenge!" " "Citing the two spells mentioned above, he flatly claimed that the archaeologist Carter released a Pharaoh's curse after opening Tutankhamun's grave.
Since then, the Pharaoh's curse has spread like wildfire. In the following years, dozens of people related to Tutankhamun died suddenly. Among them are diggers, tourists and researchers.
Shortly after Lord canavan's death, his old friend, George yeager, an American railway magnate, went into Tutankhamun's mausoleum and visited it carefully. But the next day, Jagde had a high fever for no reason and died suddenly that night.
1926 in March, French Egyptian scientist George Benedit fell down after visiting Tutankhamun's mausoleum, and Tutankhamun died. In the same year, Professor Le Vermeer died in his sleep the night after visiting Tutankhamun's mausoleum. Joel Woolf, a British industrialist, had a high fever after visiting and then died inexplicably.
Professor Qi Bolt Deli, the first anatomist who untied the shroud and took X-rays of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's mummy, had just taken a few X-rays when he began to have a high fever and his body collapsed sharply. He had to return to London sick and died the next year.
1928 In April, Arthur Mays, Carter's most important assistant and archaeologist, was also killed. He is the man who helped Carter get through the last thick wall of Tutankhamun's mausoleum. After finishing his work, his health went from bad to worse. In this year, he fell into a deep coma for no reason and died in a hotel. This hotel was the last hotel where Lord canavan stayed before his death. In the same year, another assistant of Carter, Mace, died of intermittent high fever. Mais' strange high fever originated in 1924, a year after the opening of Tutankhamun's mausoleum.
1929165438+1October, another assistant of Carter, Richard Bethel, died of a heart attack after work at the age of 45. At this time, his 87-year-old father was in London. After hearing the news of his son's death, he jumped from his residence and died. The carriage carrying the coffin for old Bethel killed a pedestrian on the road.
In addition, after visiting the site of Tutankhamun's mausoleum, a rich man in South Africa inexplicably fell from his yacht into the calm Nile and drowned. Another American industrialist, Omar, died of a high fever on his way home by boat after visiting the mausoleum. Another archaeologist, Dr. Eplin Cholaj, committed suicide a few days after leaving Tutankhamun's mausoleum. He left the following words to the world: "I left this world because of Pharaoh's curse."
Also in 1929, the wife of Lord canavan, the earliest victim, died. It is said that she was also killed by poisonous mosquitoes. The whole process, even the part bitten by poisonous mosquitoes was on her left cheek, just like her husband who died six years ago.
As of 1929, when Lord canavan's wife died, 22 people directly or indirectly related to Tutankhamun's mausoleum had died.
