The curse of the mummy It was said that there was a curse attached to Tutankhamun’s death………. ………anyone to enter his tomb would DIE!!! I’m scared lets get out of here!!
Is the curse true? • Lord Carnarvon died • 7 weeks after he entered • the tomb. All the lights in Egypt were said to have gone out at the moment of his death. His dog also howled and died at the same time. Do you think the curse is true?
