READING COMPREHENSION
THE CURSE OF TUTANKHAMEN?
In 1922, Englishman Howard Howard Carter form the tomb of an Egyptian king named
Tutankhamen some reports say that above the entrance to the tomb, a curse was written. “Death
shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the king.” Carter ignored the curse. He
and his friend Lord Carnarvon broke into the tomb. They found an amazing collection of treasure
and three mummies.
A few months later. Lord Carnarvon aged 57. Got sick and died. The doctor didn’t know the exact
cause of his death, but said perhaps it was from an infection started by and insect bite. Some say
that when he died, there was a short power outage and all of the lights throughout Cairo went out.
At his home back in England. His favorite dog howled and dropped dead.
Even stranger, when the mummy of Tutankhamen was unwrapped in 1925, it was found to have a
wound on the left cheek in exactly the same position as the insect bite on Carnarvon that led to his
dead.
Even more strange, when the mummy of Tutankhamen was un wrapped in 1925, it was found to
have a wound on the left cheek in exactly the same position as the insect bite on Carnarvon that
led to his death.
Reporters quickly developed the story. By 1935, they claimed that 21 deaths were due to the
“Mummy’s Curse “However, according to Herbert E. Winlock, the due to the director of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, by 1934, only eight people directly connected to the
tomb had died. Indeed, Howard Carter, the man who actually opened the tomb, lived to almost 65
before dying of natural causes.
But perhaps some connections did exist. In 1999, a German Scientistic suggested that the deaths
were possibly caused by mold- extremely small, dangerous growths that can survive for thousands
of years, even in a dark, dry tomb. For this reason, archeologists now wear special masks and
gloves when unwrapping a mummy.
The great Pyramid is known as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. It was built
by the Egyptian King Khufu. Khufu’s mummy and treasure have never been found. Experts
think the tomb had been robbed hundreds of years earlier. Others say that more secrets will be
uncovered in the future.
