Chapter 932 Curse of the Pharaoh (3)

Earl Carnarvon's fierce words echoed in his ears. Yang Cheng had already suppressed the doubts in his mind, but following Earl Carnarvon's words, they re-hooked them.

A question can't help but linger in my mind, "Does the Pharaoh's curse really exist?"

At first, he believed it a little, but he was not so firm, but Earl Carnarvon's words made the small balance in his heart slowly begin to tilt.

This is not over yet, Earl Carnarvon added another weight, "Also, Mr. Meletz, the director of the Cairo Museum, who was responsible for receiving and preserving the cultural relics unearthed from the Pharaoh's tomb, told reporters in public that he did not believe in this evil, saying that he was related to the tomb. Didn't he live a good life after being mixed with the pharaoh's mummy all his life? He firmly stated that the pharaoh's curse did not exist at all.

However, just one month later, Melitz, who was also as strong as a cow, died suddenly. He was younger than Mr. Howard Carter, at the age of 52.

Later, according to the doctor's judgment, Melez died of a heart attack.

bullshit!

It was not reported in the news at the time, but it was mentioned in my grandfather's diary that on the same day that Merez died, a team of workers came to the Cairo Museum to bring a batch of precious treasures unearthed from the tomb of King Tutakhamun to the museum. The cultural relics were packaged and shipped to the research institute for researchers to study, which also proves that it is very likely that Melez touched the pharaoh's funeral objects with his own hands during his lifetime.

Stranger still, the day Mereze died was also the day Tutankhamun's tomb was disturbed. "

This time, Yang Cheng and William were really scared, and the two ladies, Luo Yue and Kate, had already hugged each other. They always felt the chill behind their backs. She was very calm, no doubt, she was already familiar with all these things and couldn't be more familiar, even so, there was still a trace of fear on her face, which flashed past.

Earl Carnarvon looked out of the window and fell into memories, "Since I can remember, I have been studying the written records left by my ancestors, and I firmly believe in the curse of the pharaoh. Although I have not researched anything, I dare say that I am alive now Among the people in the world, no one knows everything about that year better than me.

Tutankhamun was the twelfth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt. He took over the power of the sun god Amon in 1316 BC and ascended the throne of pharaoh at the age of nine. However, Tutankhamun The fact that a young pharaoh died suddenly at the age of eighteen after only reigning for nine years is hard not to wonder.

It can be said that Tutankhamun himself is a combination of miracles and mysteries. I am not surprised by all the miraculous things that happened to him.

After his death, Tutankhamun was buried in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile, which is now known as the "Valley of the Kings". The uninvited guest disturbed his sleep, maybe this is retribution. "

Earl Carnarvon sneered. He was radiant when he first saw him, but at this moment, he became extremely bleak. The whole person seemed to be shrouded in black mist. Yang Cheng felt that the air pressure in the room was slowly decreasing. The man was very uncomfortable, unnaturally loosened the black tie on his neck and untied the neckline, and looked at William quietly, seeing the same meaning in each other's eyes - strange.

However, they did not make any noise to disturb the earl's thoughts, and let him continue to recall, "This uninvited guest is none other than Howard Carter, an Egyptian-born Englishman.

From my great-grandfather's records,

I know that Mr. Howard Carter has been very interested in the history of ancient Egypt since he was a child, and he has always dreamed of excavating a pharaoh's tomb by himself.

Moreover, according to his years of in-depth investigations, he found that among the Egyptian cultural relics unearthed in countries all over the world, there has never been an item belonging to the young pharaoh Tutankhamun.

So he determined that Tutankhamun was still hidden in a certain corner of the Valley of the Kings.

So, after years of lobbying and hard work, in 1915, Carter finally found someone willing to sponsor his excavation funds, that is, my great-grandfather, the greatest of the Carnarvon family.

Later, the two explored together for 7 years, and finally found Tutankhamun's tomb, and the nightmare began. "

Everyone who listened attentively couldn't help muttering, what happened to Earl Carnarvon? Why repeat what everyone already knows?

As if guessing everyone's confusion, Earl Carnarvon said, "The records that Mr. Yang read just now are only part of them. I have carefully kept more detailed records and have never mentioned them to outsiders."

Everyone was stunned, so they sank down and continued to listen to Earl Carnarvon's narration of this magical history, "The visit to the tomb began, and Mr. Howard Carter's excavation work soon arrived at the front room of the mausoleum, which is the inexplicable pink room. Plenty of treasure is piled up, and two tall statues guard the hall.

These are all recorded in the notebook just now, but what is not written on it is that on the back of the two statues, there is written Pharaoh's first warning: I am King Tutankhamun's defender, and I will use desert fire to expel Tomb robber, my great-grandfather thought it was not very good, so he asked Mr. Howard Carter whether to stop excavation temporarily, but Mr. Carter didn't pay attention to this curse, he continued firmly, great-grandfather had no choice but to follow behind .

The excavation of the entire front room lasted for two full months. During this period, Mr. Howard Carter did not live at the site all the time, but returned to his residence from time to time, and even held celebration parties.

Just over two months after the opening of the mausoleum, the excavation work in the front room had been completed, and the day before the excavation team applied to proceed to the inner room, a cobra unknowingly swam into Carter's residence and kept him in the bedroom. The bird canary was killed.

According to ancient Egyptian legends, the cobra was the patron saint of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt.

But the elated Mr. Carter was not frightened by the snake. Of course, it was impossible to stop now.

A few days later, the inner room of Tutankhamun's tomb was opened, and the scene that day was like a grand party. The dignitaries and tourists sat on wicker chairs in front of the tomb, staring at the scene intently.

My grandfather also lowered his guard, and even joked to those around him: It's like watching a concert in a tomb.

An old Egyptian present was shocked by this wanton joke. He thought it was beyond what a real archaeologist who respected the dead could say. He whispered to the people around him: If he enters the tomb with this attitude , I bet he won't survive six weeks. "

Yang Cheng suddenly laughed. He thought it was impossible. It was very likely that the words were fabricated by later generations. Thinking about it carefully, everyone's attention was focused on the tomb at that time. Who would have noticed a sentence from the old man outside and recorded it on purpose? down?
