π HALLOWEEN MYTH: Open an Egyptian Pharaohβs tomb and youβll be cursedβ¦ π
The discovery of Tutankhamunβs tomb in 1922 helped turn the βMummyβs Curseβ into one of the worldβs most famous legends.
When the expeditionβs backer, Lord Carnarvon, died just months later, newspapers blamed the curse. π±
The less spooky explanation?
He died after a mosquito bite became infected.
And Howard Carter β the man who actually discovered the tomb β lived until 1939, almost 17 years after finding it. π»
So the curse makes a brilliant storyβ¦ but the evidence isnβt quite so terrifying. π
Still, would YOU be brave enough to enter Tutankhamunβs tomb after dark? ποΈπ¬
