Synopsis

The What Do We Know About? series explores the mysterious, the unknown, and the unexplained. Is this ancient curse fact, myth, or legend? Find out all we know about the curse of King Tut's tomb and its history in this exciting book!

There have long been legends of a curse bestowed upon anyone who disturbs the final resting ground of an Egyptian pharaoh. Lore surrounding these curses claim that they may bring bad luck, illness, or even death.

The legend of the curse of King Tutankhamun's tomb spread after odd circumstances and mysterious deaths seemed to follow Howard Carter's research team shortly after discovering and unsealing King Tut's tomb in 1922. It was one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all things Egyptian—including a desire for the very wealthy to own actual mummies.

Learn about the history of King Tut and follow the journey of Howard Carter, his patron Lord Carnarvon, and his team as they explore the ancient Egyptian burial site. Did their curiosity unleash a frightening and lifelong curse as punishment for disturbing the pharaoh's rest?
