Chapter 933 Curse of the Pharaoh (4)

Yang Cheng is not the only one who has the same guess and idea. None of these people here is an idiot, and the illogical things can be heard immediately.

The expressions of disbelief on everyone's face seemed to have stimulated Earl Carnarvon, who immediately jumped up excitedly, "This incident was recorded by the assistant next to Howard Carter. After his death, the notebook recording the whole process was sent to the sea. Collier, we were able to understand the whole process of visiting the tomb."

William reassured him helplessly, "It's not that we don't want to believe it, but that this sentence is really not in line with common sense. Even the assistant next to Howard Carter, shouldn't he be closely behind Mr. Carter at that time? How could it be?" Did you hear what the onlookers said?"

If it weren't for the fact that William was two ranks higher than him and that he was a child of the royal family, Earl Carnarvon would have been ready to curse.

His face turned red with anger, and he called Kelin to fetch something, but everyone was speechless for a moment.

It wasn't until Kelin retrieved a thick photo album that everyone turned their attention.

Earl Carnarvon carefully placed the photo album on the table as if he were treating a rare treasure, and opened it page by page, finally stopping at the middle page. Earl Carnarvon beckoned everyone to come over, and pointed to a yellowed The black-and-white photo said, "This is a photo of the scene taken by the assistant himself. You see, there are about dozens of people present. Except for the busy workers in front, there are not many people around. On the venue, as long as someone speaks, even if the voice is very small, they can be heard by outsiders."

Yang Cheng looked at the photo dumbfounded, well, he admitted that this explanation was reasonable, but it took such a lot of trouble, it was really embarrassing for Earl Carnarvon.

William also found it ridiculous, and at the same time apologized to Earl Carnarvon, "I'm sorry for our previous doubts."

The Earl of Carnarvon finally showed a smile, and it seemed that it was an honor to be apologized by His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge.

But then he put on a dignified look, "According to the assistant's record, when he heard this sentence, he also didn't take it seriously, thinking it was the imagination of uncivilized Egyptians, so he didn't pay attention to it until the nightmare came. , He suddenly thought of this sentence, and felt chills all over his body.

But at the scene, except for the old man, almost everyone was immersed in joy, because the inner room of Tutankhamun's tomb was opened, and people were all overwhelmed by the huge golden altar. Entering to watch, no one paid attention to a small monument in front of the inner room.

When the inscription was translated a few days later, it was the second dreadful curse: "Whoever disturbs the Pharaoh's sleep, death will descend on his head with wings."

In subsequent excavations, two more curses were found, warning the disrespectful to abandon the tomb. However, Mr. Howard Carter didn't care about this. It was my great-grandfather who wavered several times out of awe of his ancestors, but he was finally persuaded by Mr. Carter, and they did not stop exploring and researching.

After sending off the enthusiastic crowd, they were about to open the coffin. At that time, a mosquito bit the great-grandfather's face. This small bite seemed to make the great-grandfather extremely frightened. After a while, he fell ill, developed a high fever, and lost his teeth one after another.

According to the memories of the personal servants of my great-grandfather, at the beginning of March the year after the opening of the mausoleum, my great-grandfather's neck was swollen, and the doctor judged that it seemed to be pneumonia.

that month,

That is, in late March, great-grandfather's high fever rose to 40 degrees and lasted for twelve days. According to the doctor's judgment, great-grandfather accidentally cut a wound while shaving and caused a lung infection.

But the great-grandfather's servant recalled that the doctor couldn't explain why the great-grandfather kept calling with a high fever: I heard his voice, and I will let him go.

Then, at two o'clock in the morning on April 5th, the electricity in Cairo suddenly went out, and the city fell into a dark night like three thousand years ago. In the silence, the fifty-seven-year-old great-grandfather passed away suddenly, , his pet dog far away in the UK died suddenly. "

Following Earl Carnarvon's deep voice, the strange illness and death scene of Yang Cheng and others made the hair stand on end, and goosebumps popped up unconsciously. Luo Yue was even more frightened and got into Yang Cheng's arms. Not to mention her well-dressed look.

"In short, nothing seemed to be able to deter Mr. Carter's growing curiosity, and he insisted on opening the sarcophagus.

When autumn came, the final resting place of the young pharaoh was finally exposed to the eyes of the world.

Tutankhamun's coffin is divided into three layers. The innermost one is actually made of pure gold according to the shape of the human body. When you open the last luxurious coffin, you will see a lifelike golden mask. The mummy's face, the golden mask, has also become a focus of discussion and has since become a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian culture.

Its black eyes, which have gone through more than 3,000 years, are still scorching, as if they want to look into the depths of the grave robber's soul.

To say that Mr. Carter is a tomb robber is actually not wronging him.

In order to get the jewelry attached to the mummy, Mr. Carter and a doctor named Douglas Derry actually cut the well-preserved pharaoh mummy into three pieces, and the method was rough, which was extremely disrespectful to the pharaoh who was admired by thousands of people.

But during the cutting process, Dr. Derry also made an amazing discovery: On the left cheek of the mummy, there was a wound formed during his lifetime—the same place where his great-grandfather was bitten by a mosquito.

In the next few years, dozens of people who had a relationship with Tutankhamun died suddenly one after another, including excavators, visitors and researchers, such as the nurse who nursed his great-grandfather also died suddenly. The cause of death is still unknown;

There is also an old friend of my great-grandfather, who just went to see Tutankhamun’s tomb, developed a high fever at night, and died the next night;

The scholar Georges Benedit fell in the grave, but it was this fall that killed him;

Professor Zibert Tedley, who was the first to remove the shroud and perform an X-ray examination, also developed a high fever at night, his body weakened rapidly, and died the next day;

A South African rich man fell from a cruise ship into the calm sea and drowned after visiting the excavation site of the mausoleum;

Since then, those who disturbed the pharaoh's peace have passed away mysteriously. This further magnifies the mystery of the "Pharaoh's Curse".

But the most critical factor that makes people feel that the theory of the curse is unreliable is Mr. Carter, the first person who opened Tutankhamun's tomb and the initiator of excavating the king's tomb. He has lived peacefully for 27 years, not to mention that during these 27 years, Mr. Carter continued to make persistent efforts and discovered and excavated the tombs of Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose IV.

If according to the curse, with his 'achievements', it is only the death of a beloved canary, I am afraid that it cannot digest the pharaoh's anger, right? "

Earl Carnarvon's question happened to be that of Yang Cheng and the others. Did the Pharaoh's curse miss the target? It was supposed to be aimed at Howard Carter, but for some reason it was applied to his beloved Canary. If this is the case, Howard Carter must have saved the earth in his previous life, so that he committed such a "crime" in this life, but only with such a A canary bought decades of life.

Of course, this is just a bad idea. In the words of Earl Carnarvon, this great "archaeologist" traveled a long distance to the United States to avoid the curse. Maybe this is the invalidation of the "Pharaoh's Curse" The main reason is that it is too far away, and the pharaoh's arms are not that long.

Well, well, this is all a joke, and no one can explain the real reason, even those seemingly reasonable explanations, because of the existence of Howard Carter, have become self-defeating. It can be said that Howard Carter alone messed up debated both sides.

For example, there is an explanation—deadly fungus: In 1989, American archaeologist Kent Venice presided over the excavation of a tomb numbered K-V5 in the Valley of the Kings. The forty-eight princes of Sis II.

Of course, the tomb has been looted long ago, but it still left the excavators with a windfall: it was a dark and dank tomb, filled with strange clumps that fed on the mummies and the food they were buried with , the infiltration of the Nile flood brought them more food.

What's more, these guys don't need oxygen. The discovery of these deadly fungi is very consistent with a message in the excavation records of Tutankhamun's tomb, that is, when King Tutankhamun's tomb was first opened, the tomb Many clusters of "inexplicable things" were also found, which are likely to be the same deadly fungus as in the prince's tomb. This is one of the important reasons for the death of the Earl of Carnarvon and many more victims.

Why did none of the archaeologists who excavated K-V5 die? That's because modern science and technology have made people understand the importance of isolation. When the archaeologists first entered the tomb, they would wear protective clothing, masks, gloves, etc.

However, this explanation encountered obstacles in Howard Carter, why he was fine, and everyone did not carry protective measures back then;

There is another explanation—poison: the priests of ancient Egypt were the earliest and most adept at using poison in human history. ).
