In 1922, Egyptologist Howard Carter and his patron Lord Carnarvon opened the tomb of Tutankhamen. Several months later, Lord Carnarvon was dead, giving rise to the story of the Mummy's Curse..
- What are the possible explanationS of Lord Carnarvon's mysterious death?
- Which, in your opinion, is the most likely cause of his death, and why?...
oh wow.. how am i gonna do this.. sianx.. lol.. and so i juz found this....
Did Carnarvon die after a mosquito bite became infected (as has been thought)? Or could he have inhaled anthrax spores in the tomb?
A Canadian doctor (James McSherry) agreed with the French scientist: "A malignant pustule in the oropharyngeal area could well produce an illness similar to the tragic event that caused Lord Carnarvon's demise." He went on to explain that "anthrax certainly existed in ancient times and is often assumed to have been responsible for the fifth and sixth plagues of Egypt, which are described in chapter nine of Exodus. Anthrax spores could well have been present in the tomb, and there would have been a real risk of exposure once the ancient dust was stirred."
When Tut-expert Nicolas Reeves was asked what he thought about this possibility, he pointed out that Carnarvon was already in poor health when he arrived in Egypt. He also discounted the idea of the curse, indicating that most of the people who explored the tomb with Carter and Carnarvon survived without any appearance of "the curse."
In the end, the scientist and the doctor who have presented anthrax spores as a cause of King Tut's curse are only guessing...and ignoring the fact that relatively few people who entered the tomb became sick and died.
