Tutankhamun’s Tomb
In November 1922, Howard Carter discovered the final resting place of a little-known Egyptian pharaoh named Tutankhamun. Upon carefully removing the outer door and stepping over the threshold, Carter became the first human being to do so in over 3,000 years. At that moment, Carter didn't know that Tutankhamun's tomb would become one of the greatest archaeological finds in history, comparable to the Terracotta Army, the remains of Pompeii, and the Rosetta Stone. News of the incredible discovery hit the headlines, drawing the world's media attention to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, near what was once Thebes. It was the crowning achievement of Carter's career, immortalizing him among archaeologists. But from the moment he first stepped inside the pharaoh's tomb, rumors began to spread that his actions had unleashed a terrible curse, a punishment from beyond the grave for disturbing the long-dead pharaoh. Many dismissed it as nonsense, including Carter himself, until people started dying.
