The Curse of King Tutankhamun


So when I found out we were going into Egyptian art I was actually really interested into hearing about King Tut and seeing how his history would come into play. Ever since I was little I knew about King Tut because I went to the Franklin Institute to go see the exhibit and also I was kind of a history channel buff and would watch random documentary's that would come on it. I would watch the ones on King Tut and heard all about the curses and such that befell the crew that found him. Me being a kid at the time I got all scared and paranoid that something like that would happen to me. So like when I went to see the exhibit i was all nervous about what I'd say or get near cause I was like "I'm gonna die if he gets all angry at me" haha. I still to this day think it was crazy how everything happened to Howard Carter and his crew but I realized that King Tut doesn't have it out for me cause I saw his exhibit. I also think it's crazy how young he was when he was ruling just being that young and having all that pressure to rule a kingdom. But yeah i'm gonna say there was defiantly some kind of conspiracy to his death cause even to this day they're still unsure of what killed him. Well now I'm hoping I still stay in his good graces after making this blog cause i'm not trying to develop a random spot on my face and die.
