1922, the British archaeologist Sir Kata excavated the tomb of King Tutankhamun of Egypt 18, and the unearthed cultural relics caused a sensation all over the world because of their large quantity and high value. However, after 5 1 month, something even more sensational happened: all the first workers and archaeologists who entered King Tutankhamun's mausoleum died of a mysterious disease without exception, and Sir Canavan was no exception. During the excavation, Kata found a plaque made of clay, engraved with the spell "Whoever breaks the Pharaoh, disaster will come". When the superstitious sorcerer saw it and gave up, he secretly disposed of the plaque. However, this has caused a series of incredible disasters:
By 1929, 2 1 person who directly or indirectly participated in the excavation and visit of the mausoleum died strangely. As a result, people naturally thought of the spell on the plaque, and the panic spread rapidly. The horror of "Pharaoh's apparition" hangs over the whole archaeological community like a dark cloud.
At this time, Mr. Meretz, assistant director of Cairo Museum, bravely stood up. He announced to reporters: "I don't believe in this evil. You see, I've been living with ancient tombs and Pharaoh mummies all my life, haven't I lived well? These deaths are a series of coincidences. I am living evidence! " However, a month later, Meles, who was as strong as an ox, died suddenly at the age of less than 52. According to the doctor's judgment, he died of a heart attack. On the same day of his death, a group of workers came to Cairo Museum to pack a batch of precious cultural relics. These cultural relics were unearthed in the tomb of the famous Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922 Valley of the Kings. Among them, the Tutankhamun aristocrat originally wore a 2.5-pound gold mask on his head. Strangely, the day May was strangled was also the day Tutankhamun was disturbed.
Until recently, Cerban Ganzona, a famous scientist in the "Biological Laboratory" in Paris, finally found the cause of the mysterious death of Sir Carnaveen and others, thus uncovering the mystery of the "Pharaoh's spell" that has plagued the world for ten years. After decades of research, Ganzona discovered that King Tutankhamun's tomb contained a mixture of microspores. When Sir carnarvon and his men broke into the tomb of King Intakamon, which had not been disturbed for thousands of years, they inhaled a lot of tiny spores; These deadly spores will grow into deadly pathogens immediately after being inhaled into human body. Ganzona said: "We can now conclude that Carnaveen and others died entirely because they were infected with those extremely deadly pathogens."
The first thing that caught Gonzona's attention was a description by archaeologist Nicholas Reeves in The Truth of King Tutankhamun: "There are clusters of puzzling things everywhere in the tomb, and we suspect that they are deadly fungi. In addition, Sir Kata has been in poor health since he arrived in Egypt, so he is particularly vulnerable to bacterial infection. " Reeves sneered at the "Pharaoh's curse": "If the" Pharaoh's curse "really works, then the archaeologist who discovered the Pharaoh's tomb and the doctor who dissected King Tutankhamun's mummy should die, but they are safe and sound." After long-term research, Ganzona confirmed Reeves' judgment. In an upcoming scientific research report, he claimed: "When you walk into a tomb 3,000 years ago, if there are still living fungi in it, then they must be the most deadly pathogen."
Ganzona finally found samples of various pathogens in the most exquisite "death mask" unearthed that year. However, one question that still needs to be solved now is: How did these pathogens appear in the grave? Ganzona can only guess now: "If Egyptians are very smart and really want to curse people who smell the smell into the cemetery, then they may put pathogens or fungi they know in the grave and let the uninvited guests get sick and die at any time."
"Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, the wing of death will fall on his head." 1922, the British archaeologist Sir Kata excavated the tomb of King Tutankhamun of 18 dynasty in Egypt, and the unearthed cultural treasures caused a sensation all over the world because of their large quantity and high value. Kata found a plaque made of clay in the tomb, engraved with the spell "Whoever violates the Pharaoh, disaster will come". After 5 1 month, 2 1 person who directly or indirectly participated in the excavation and visit of the mausoleum died strangely. As a result, the famous people in the world naturally thought of the spell on the plaque, and the panic spread rapidly. At this time, Mr. Meles, curator of Cairo Museum, announced to reporters: "I don't believe in this evil. I have been mixed with tombs and Pharaoh mummies all my life. Haven't I lived well? " However, a month later, Meles, who was as strong as an ox, died at the age of 52. According to the doctor's judgment, he died of a heart attack. On the same day of his death, a group of workers came to Cairo Museum to pack a batch of precious cultural relics unearthed from King Tutankhamun's mausoleum. What is even more strange is that the day when Mei was strangled was also the day when Tutankhamun was disturbed. ...
Tutankhamun was the first 12 Pharaoh of the 18 dynasty in ancient Egypt. He took over the power battle of the sun god Amon in BC 136 1 and ascended the throne of Pharaoh at the age of nine. At the same time, Ankshanamen, the youngest daughter of the eight-year-old former Pharaoh Okhennathan, became his queen. The mystery surrounding Tutankhamun began with his life experience. The ancient Egyptian dynasty always followed the principle of consanguineous marriage, but whose son was Tutankhamun? The only certainty is that he must have royal blood. There are many kinds of speculations. The first guess: he is not the biological son of former Pharaoh Okhennathan. Pharaoh Okhennatan broke the tradition of marriage between close relatives of Pharaoh and made Syrian princess Nafititi an official princess. The queen from afar has amazing beauty. Her name is Nafiditi, which means "beauty is coming". She bore six daughters to Pharaoh Okhennathan, but she had no sons. It is speculated that her son-in-law Pharaoh Tutankhamun is the nephew of Pharaoh Ahnatun, that is to say, the queen Tutankhamun married is his cousin.
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.
The second curse: Whoever disturbs Pharaoh's sleep will spread his wings over his head. 1February 923 17 In the early morning, a cobra swam into Carter's house and hanged his lucky bird canary. Legend has it that the cobra was the guardian of the Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, which is not a good sign. Carter, in high spirits, was not intimidated by snakes. Of course, it is impossible to stop now. A few days later, the inner chamber of Pharaoh's tomb was opened. The scene of this day is like a grand party, with dignitaries and tourists sitting on rattan chairs in front of the mausoleum, staring at this scene. Count Carnarvon smiled at the people around him. It's like watching a concert in the grave. Arthur Wigel, an Egyptian scientist present, was shocked by this unbridled joke. He thinks this is beyond the words of an archaeologist who truly respects the dead. He whispered to the people around him, "If he goes to the grave with this attitude, I bet he won't live for six weeks." King Tutankhamun's inner chamber was opened and people were dumped by the huge golden altar. They entered the room in groups of three, and no one cared about a small tablet in front of the back 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."
