  • Tomb of Tutankhamen, Perhaps the most famous tomb of the Valley of the Kings,is supposed to be cursed.All the initial explorers, and their close relatives and friends who helped them, died shortly after the discovery.Suprisingly, the first explorer, Howard Carter was not affected by the curse, and so do the millions of people who visit it.Though the is dormant right now, people still fear it.
  • It is now commonly accepted by historians that Tutankhamen was not murdered, but died of natural causes.
  • how old is he
