The secret of the curse of the Pharaohs

In 1922 achieved the archaeologist Howard Carter, with his colleague, Lord Carnarvon an account of archaeological remarkable after Osoarhama on the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the room KV62 in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, after great efforts continued for six years and still in the discovery of the most important events of the twentieth century, but they did not realize the consequences of trying to dig the grave and opened the coffin of the study. Many of the rooms of coffins and graves contain statements threatening with death those who try to steal its contents Nbashh or gateway: "Death to kill the two wings, anyone who dares to disturb peace of the King",

Especially as the ancient Egyptians were a lot of sciences dedicated to the idea of ​​life after death and the pharaoh was not king for them, but only God, where they mummified his body and put it in wooden coffins and escorted to the whole world of statues of gods of death in preparation for the life of the other. Despite the bear those words of the explicit threat of death to those who dig the graves of the Pharaohs, not one of the archaeologists did not Aaaraa any attention at all there is in our time who believes in ancient pagan beliefs of the pharaohs that are more than four thousand years

The cemetery was very large and extremely luxurious, and were closer to the basement of being the tomb of an ordinary statues large size of various animals are made of pure gold and encrusted with jewels and precious stones, the amount of very large pieces of gold-like bullion are everywhere cemetery that scientists estimated age of more than three thousand in fact, the body of the pharaoh himself was very luxurious Mkvna cloth studded with jewels. In short this was a cemetery containing the treasures are endless and invaluable The world was Howard Carter's discovery and Lord Carnarvon financed campaign to detect the effects felt full of pride after their names shine in the sky because of the fame of this great achievement.

 Everything was going in the best picture but what happened next was strange shift over time to the phenomenon of supernatural and one of the mysterious things that raised a lot of controversy On the official ceremony opening the cemetery wounded Lord Carnarvon fever mysteriously did not find her one of the doctors explanation in the middle of the night just died of the Lord in Cairo and the strangest thing is that the electricity was interrupted in Cairo without any apparent reason in the same moment of death and then rolled calamities began to death reap the vast majority if not all of those who desecrated the cemetery, or participated in the celebration

The threat of death, which is found in the cemetery was sincere. Most of the deaths were due to these mysterious fever with delirium and tremors lead to death but it was exceeded injury Pei often died secretary of Howard Carter, without any reason at all and then committed suicide and his father, saddened him and during the funeral of Secretary Das horse, which was been a vehicle coffin a small child he killed him and wounded many of those who contributed in one way or another in the discovery of the cemetery and some of them committed suicide, insanity, without any apparent reason

, Which puzzled the archaeologists at the time they found themselves in front of a mystery for which there is no explanation called the "curse of the Pharaohs." After four years of the accident died archaeologist Walter Emery in front of me for no reason assistant in the same night in which he discovered a Pharaonic tombs, and there is a doctor finder Bilharz bilharzia worm, who died two days after his visit to the Pharaonic antiquities in Luxor.

 As the world of Egypt, Dr. 'Izz al-Din Taha "a vision of accurate scientific so-called curse of the pharaohs and re-interpretation of events, all in view of the fungi and toxins, which may publish the Pharaohs in their tombs, as well as for bacteria, which have been active over the skin of the mummy dissolved, and other scientific reasons to explain the cases of death Algamus but this did not explain cases of madness, and sudden death or suicide for no reason, and ended the man to say categorically that there is no so-called curse of the Pharaohs, and it was possible to finish the story at this point but that men, after delivering his lecture, hit by a car speeding and is crossing the road to his death on the spot!

Some researchers and Muslim scholars that the deaths that have occurred can not be interpreted as a curse because this contradicts with the Islamic faith directly as it is not a coincidence Valsdfah not repeated in this way, but that all this explanation may be seen with the passage of days or may remain legendary swing between fact and fiction.

 After opening the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the November 29, 1922 deaths occurred the following:

Lord Carnarvon: died on April 5, 1923 after being bitten by a bug, it was his death after 4 months and 7 days of the open coffin.

- George Jay Gould: died in the resort of French Riviera on May 16, 1923 after suffering a fever and a visit to the tomb.

Howard Carter Howard opened the coffin in the February 16, 1923 and died on March 2, 1939

In addition to Lord Carnarvon and Mr. Gold include a list of deaths Aubrey Herbert, a half-brother's Carnarvon and multi-millionaire from South Africa and the Wolf, Joel and Prince of Egypt, Ali Fahmi and his brother, a British Lee Stack and Egyptologist Evelyn and specialist knowledge of the radiation Sir Erchaabald Douglas and Assistant Howard Carter and his father, Lord Westbury, and specialists in science Egyptian E. C Maes and James Breasted Henner.

Some experts reckon the causes of deaths that occurred to the growth of fungi inside the coffins, where deadly spread in the air when you open the coffins. And supporters of that hypothesis writer Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes mystery novels where it is believed that these fungi have been developed in order to deliberately punish grave robbers. Also believes that the report published by a newspaper after the death of Carnarvon contributed greatly to the spread of news of the curse, which tied the pharaoh Tutankhamun. The report includes the words: "Death will kill two wings, anyone who dares to disturb peace of the King"

Which is not mentioned at all in a room Lark King Tutankhamun KV62 in the Valley of the Kings, although it mentioned in various other places. Although there is no evidence that the curse of the pharaohs killed Lord Carnarvon, but at the same time there is no doubt that the hazardous materials accumulated in the ancient tombs have led to this, speaking last studies focused on the latest Egyptian tombs and old that have been opened (not exposed to pollutants, our current ) to find a type of Staphylococcus bacteria from the class and Bsidmonas responsible for the growth of fungi and Alosberguilos Niger Alosberguilos Flavos. Add to that often become coffins recently opened a shelter for bats and their droppings, which become a good environment for the proliferation of fungi Histoblasmosis

 However different these harmful substances, the rates will affect the actual focus only on people with low immunity. And showed samples of air taken through a small hole in the wall of the ark is not open high levels of ammonia, formaldehyde and hydrogen sulfate, all of these gases become toxic when the concentration rises above and easily detectable by smell strong.
