  1. pick up a book at the library. do your own homework.


  2. Nah.  The most reasonable explanation for Lord Carnavon's death (don't forget the "r"!) was that he slashed a moquito bite while shaving, and his wound got infected, inducing blood poisoning.  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle popularized the theory that poisonous fungus and mold were deliberatly placed in the tombs to punish grave robbers, but little evidence, except written "curses" on the walls (ooooo!), suggest any deliberation on the part of the ancient Egyptians.  There is evidence for various bacteria like Staphylococcus (did I spell that right?  Anyway, it induces staph infection) and sarcophigi are likely to harbor poisonous gases from like formeldahyde and ammonia, which certainly don't become less hostile after thousands of years.  Most of Carnarvon's guys led perfectly normal, long lives afterward.

  3. there was no curse of tutankhamun, it was all just the newspapers spinning their usual c**p...so no carnavon did not die from any curse...I can tell you this for sure..I have done Egyptology etc so I know this to be complete and utter rubbish.

  4. Everyone dies some time, curses or not. There's nothing in Egyptian literature about any curse Tutankhamen put on his tomb. This is just another silly story invented by mountebanks.  

  5. That's not true. Lord Carnavon was said to have died from the bacteria that was hibernating in the tomb.

    Saw it on a documentary about King Tut. :D
