Let’s take it back, wayyyy back…back to Ancient Egypt! On Episode 16 Carrie’s telling us the story of King Tutankhamun, aka Tut, the boy king of Ancient Egypt. But even more interesting than the story of his life is that of the discovery of his tomb and mummified remains in 1922—and the alleged curse that descended upon the excavation team after they cracked open his crypt.
Was there really an Ancient Egyptian curse on Tut’s tomb, one that promised “death on swift wings” to anyone disturbing the young pharaoh’s eternal slumber? How many people died mysteriously enough to attribute it to a curse? And did people REALLY used to grind up mummies to make…medicine?
Happy New Year, #ScarySquad!
