The second guess: he is the biological son of Pharaoh Okhennathan, but his biological mother is unknown. One study showed that because the Queen had never given birth to a son, Okhennathan accepted a partial princess-some even thought that this partial princess was an adult daughter of Okhennathan. Therefore, Tutankhamun is not only Nafititi's son-in-law, but also her stepson and grandson. There are different opinions about the secret of the deep palace more than 3000 years ago. It seems that the best solution is probably to do a DNA test for the mummies of these historical figures or something. However, the reason why Tutankhamun is really well known is not his life experience, but the most abundant and well-preserved funerary objects when he was excavated, and more importantly, the mysterious story that followed-the curse of the Pharaoh.
The young Pharaoh Tutankhamun died suddenly after only nine years in office, at the age of eighteen. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile. From then on, I fell into darkness and fell asleep for 3274 years. Until February 1923, an unexpected visitor not far from Wan Li disturbed his sleep. The unexpected visitor was an Egyptian-born Englishman named howard carter. Howard carter was very interested in the history of ancient Egypt since he was a child, and he always dreamed of excavating a Pharaoh's tomb himself. Moreover, according to his in-depth investigation for many years, among the cultural relics unearthed in Egypt all over the world, there has never been anything belonging to the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. So he decided that Tutankhamun was still hiding in a corner of the Valley of the Kings. 19 15, Carter found a person who was willing to sponsor himself to dig funds: Earl Carnarvon, the explorer and owner of Highbury Castle in England. After seven years of digging and searching, "good luck" finally came to Carter on the morning of 1922 1 4. A worker who delivered water to the excavation team came across a stone ladder that led people to the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. 1922 1 1 on 26th, Carter's excavation work reached the front hall of the mausoleum. There are many treasures in it, and there are two tall statues guarding the hall. Behind them, the first warning is written: I am the guardian of King Tutankhamun, and I use desert fire to drive away grave robbers. Carter didn't take the curse seriously. He kept digging.

But this did not stop Carter's curiosity. He insisted on opening the sarcophagus. Autumn has come, and the last resting place of the young Pharaoh is finally exposed to the world. Tutankhamun's coffin is divided into three layers, and the innermost layer is actually made of pure gold according to the shape of the human body. Open this last luxurious coffin, and you will see a lifelike gold mask covering the mummy's face. This pair of golden chrysanthemum has also become a focus of people's discussion, and has since become a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian culture. Its black eyes, which have been burning for more than 3,000 years, seem to have been peeping at the soul of grave robbers. It's true that Carter is a grave robber. In order to get the jewels attached to the mummy, Carter and a doctor named Douglas Delhi actually cut the well-preserved Pharaoh's mummy into three pieces, and the technique was rough, which was extremely disrespectful to the Pharaoh who was admired by thousands of people. But in the process of cutting, Dr. Delhi also made an amazing discovery: on the left cheek of the mummy, there was a wound formed by an ulcer before death-the same position as the mosquito bite of Count Carnarvon. This seems to be an important basis for confirming the curse.
In the next few years, dozens of people related to Tutankhamun died suddenly. Among them are diggers, tourists and researchers. For a time, the theory of "Pharaoh's curse" sensationalized the world. Of course, spells about ancient Egypt can be found everywhere in ancient books. Many Egyptians also believe this. (Not to mention the Egyptians, we in China also believe in it. However, what is the truth, scientists and enthusiasts have been constantly pursuing. The key factor that makes people feel that the "curse" is unreliable is howard carter. The first person who opened Tutankhamun's tomb was also the initiator of the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb. In the 27 years after the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, they lived in peace. What's more, in these twenty-seven years, Carter made persistent efforts to discover and excavate the tombs of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose IV. With his achievements, a canary can earn him such a long life, and Pharaoh's anger is too easy to disappear. -However, it is true that Pharaoh's curse can be believed by such a wide crowd. Because long before Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated, there had been a series of deaths related to the remains of ancient Egypt.
