#930 Pharaoh Curse (1)

In the end, the Earl of Carnarvon still did not refuse the old man's affectionate plea, and agreed to Kling's stay in the castle as a manager.

Yang Cheng is happy to see the results. Kelin has the most orthodox British aristocratic butler service. For the guests who come to stay, it is definitely a novel and insightful experience.

And what Kelin said was right. His advantages were not only reflected in the service aspect. His understanding of the castle was by no means comparable to that of managers hired from the outside. This was especially important in hotel operations.

Afterwards, a group of people went to the small banquet hall next to them for dinner. At the dinner table, several people chatted about the history of the Carnarvon family. Yang Cheng was particularly interested in the Egyptian pharaoh. During the visit, we did not see the treasures discovered by the Earl's great-grandfather in Egypt."

Earl Carnarvon smiled wryly, "Speaking of which, Mr. Yang may not believe that Mr. Howard Carter, who completed the pioneering work in the archaeological field, found a golden mask, a throne inlaid with gemstones, and a golden ancient Chariots, vases as white as jade, beautifully carved golden beds and golden chairs;

Every piece of cultural relic unearthed is a world-class treasure, and what is even more unearthed is the unearthed golden flip-flops and a golden dagger made of extraterrestrial meteorites. All kinds of phenomena show that the magic of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh is by no means artificially fabricated.

My great-grandfather also recorded in his family letter that when he witnessed the unearthing of these rare treasures, he also sent someone to make 1:1 imitations and put them at home for future generations to admire.

But strange things followed one after another. Mr. Howard Carter found several cursed inscriptions on the wall of the tomb of Tutanmenka during the archaeological work, among them were 'Whoever disturbs the peace of this pharaoh, Deathwing will Descending on his head', people who had been blinded by miracles at that time would naturally not believe these nonsense.

Until the archaeologists who excavated this tomb suddenly died without any warning, 19 people died successively, including my great-grandfather. The cause was a mosquito bite, a ridiculous claim my grandfather overturned.

Since then, our family has been very taboo about this matter, at least at family gatherings, no one dared to mention it easily, those imitations brought back by great-grandfather, of course I cannot deny that some of these small objects are actually original unearthed cultural relics , but they were brought back to private collections in the name of imitations, and they were all placed in a warehouse in the basement and sealed.

At first, I thought that the matter would disappear with the passage of time, so I sent people to pack up the cultural relics and imitations and prepare to show them to tourists on the castle open day. People died of illness one after another due to various reasons, which made me have to believe in the "Pharaoh's curse", and the room was closed by me again, and no one has opened it yet. "

As soon as the words fell, Klin, who had gone out at the beginning of the topic, came back with a thick old record book, "Here are some materials we have collected about this bizarre incident, including the fifth earl's own hand. Record."

Yang Cheng took it rather unreceptively, and first carefully opened the handwritten record of the fifth Earl of Carnarvon. Do not hinder reading.

He read it aloud while watching it so that others could hear it. In fact, William was also very curious about it. Even though he was a prince, he hadn't known much about it before.

Yang Cheng skipped the previous preparation process,

Read directly from this passage where the Earl of Carnarvon discovers the tomb:

"On the afternoon of April 26, we found the entrance to the Land of Miracles in a steep underground passage at the foot of a pyramid in the 'Valley of the Kings' in Egypt. Howard and I had a serious face. In order to find this tomb, Howard had paid several thousand dollars. Ten years of painstaking efforts, in order to support him, I also spent a lot of money and time in 8 years, success or failure depends on it.

In front of our eyes is the gate of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb that has been closed for more than three thousand years.

We took deep breaths one after another to suppress the excitement and tension in our hearts.

In the end, Howard couldn't bear it anymore, and carefully cut open a corner of the tomb door. I followed him closely and opened my eyes wide to look inside.

As the hole widened, the atmosphere grew tense.

Howard raised the flashlight with trembling hands and looked inside, but he didn't speak for a long time.

I was worried that something might happen, so I suppressed my desire, but after a long time, I finally couldn't hold it back, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did you see anything?"

Howard turned around immediately, his eyes sparkled wonderfully, and stammered to me: I saw a miracle, a great miracle! We will open the door of miracles with our own hands!

I couldn't wait to take the flashlight that Carter handed over, and when I looked inside, I was immediately stunned. In front of my eyes, piles of gold-clad chariots appeared vaguely, yes, all of them were gold!

A couch adorned with gigantic gilded lions and monsters, a man-high statue of a king (it turned out to be the golden coffin of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, as it turned out), and countless boxes and cages.

This is the tomb of Tutankhamun, the youngest pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt.

Although pharaoh Tutankhamun only ruled the ancient Egyptian empire for 9 years, he died mysteriously at the age of 18 in 1323 BC.

I don't think this young pharaoh would have thought that after being buried for thousands of years, his sleeping place would be disturbed, and he would even become a world-renowned news figure!

When we recovered from the shock, the tomb tour began.

Tutankhamun's tomb is located at the foot of the cliff in the Valley of the Kings, which was specially used to bury pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Every step is very careful.

After our investigation, the whole mausoleum is composed of 4 tombs. The jewels scattered on the ground indicate that tomb robbers once sneaked into the tomb, but they did not take anything, which is very puzzling.

Howard and I speculated that the tomb robbers might have been frightened by some kind of accident and fled in a hurry, and in order not to let outsiders know, the tomb door was resealed later.

With all kinds of doubts, Howard and I surveyed the tombs one by one in front of the tomb. The tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun is like a museum with extremely rich collections.

There are more than 5,000 pieces of jewellery, handicrafts, furniture, clothing, cosmetics and various weapons in the tomb, and each item is enough to become the treasure of a museum! "
