This commonly known belief was intended to preserve the sanctity of these tombs in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, rather than to deter grave robbers.]]> 2022-04-09 14:53:40 UTC https://padlet.com/djmorganstuff/gdt3cplah60v9s3f/wish/2137423842 djmorganstuff https://padlet.com/djmorganstuff/gdt3cplah60v9s3f/wish/2137426892
"Candace Fleming presents the true story of the search for Tutankhamun's tomb, the Western public's belief that the dig was cursed, and the battle for ownership of the treasures within. 
During the reign of the New Kingdom of Egypt, the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun ruled and died tragically young. In order to send him on his way into the afterlife, his tomb was filled with every treasure he would need after death. And then, it was lost through the years, buried in the sands of the Valley of the Kings. His tomb was also said to be cursed. 
Centuries later, as Egypt-mania gripped Europe, two Brits—a rich earl with a habit for gambling and a disreputable, determined archeologist—worked for years to rediscover and open Tutankhamun's tomb."

He suffered from epilepsy and malaria, and had to walk with a cane due to a club foot. It would have been impossible for him to stand in a fast moving chariot. So what was likely responsible for these deformities? Incest, which was not considered taboo in ancient Egypt. Genetic testing strongly indicates that King Tut’s parents were brother and sister, and Tut is known to have married his half-sister at the tender age of about 10."
