Sorry, but that makes no sense. Who stole the treasure from what "finder" and what museum did they sell it to? In fact the Egyptian Antiquities Department was in a dispute for several years with the Carnarvon family over who was going to get the treasure. Finally a settlement was reached where the Egyptians got to keep all of the treasure and the Carnarvon family was reimbursed for all of their expenses. They in turn paid Howard Carter a share of this money.
Perhaps. There is a rumor to that effect. But in fact it is unknown who actually discovered the first step leading to the tomb. What is certain is that Carter was not on site at the time and had to be sent for.
Carter not only had pure genius, but an obsession that began when he first came to Egypt at 17 and worked with Flinders Petrie doing water color drafts of the ruins at Amarna.
Does Western Scientific Inquiry have a right to disregard or override another culture's belief system? Is time a factor? Why or why not? Then give your opinion -- did Carter have the right to excavate Tut's tomb?

You will see things like the the mummy of Thutmose the 1st with coarse wooly hair in a 1930s published book by Sir W M Flinders Petrie (renowned Egyptologist of the day) . He's now bald. Or the coal black (always in art) grandmother of renowned Queen Hatshepsut.
The "curse" is interesting too - apparently the whole thing was a fabrication of the press and never really existed. The other funny thing is it does not hold up statistically or factually. The number, type and ages at death of those who did die was within statistical norms for the time and area. Carter lived another 17 years and died at 65, Lady Evelyn lived to be 79, Dr Derry who did the autopsy lived a further 46 years. Superstition tends to make us see what we want not whats there :-)
Fascinating and amazing how much has been learned since. I saw that in the past couple of years they have been able to prove a genetic familial link between the corpse of Tutankhamen and that of Akenatan as well as between some female mummies identified at being Tuts mother and grandmother.
I find the story of Akenatan's reign fascinating and wonder whether his belief in Ra as the only or key god was the origins of monotheism. Must have been tough on Tut to take over after his fathers changes
this ''curse'' it is for real? O.o starting to creep out xD
Because my teacher entered the tomb and later he lost his job, his wife and house and everything. And one of my classmate's stepdad entered this tomb too 3 years ago and now he lost everything O.o
History is such a fraud. King Tut was never a king. He was the son of the pharoh that challenged Moses. He died when the death angle came through Egypt to kill the first born of every animal. But rather than tell the truth, they give you all these lies to keep from agreeing withthe bible.His father drowned in the red sea with his army, so they put the kid in his dads tomb
Those spells were put in there to scare off tomb raders (the ancients believed the spells would work)
In this case, i find it more than a coincidence a few archeologists died.
BUT that can be explained by another fact, other than the "Curse"
In Tuts tomb, there was a sort of fungis, eating at the paint. the Team, didnt let the tomb air out.... so perhaps the fungi caused some sort of heath hazzard.
Egyptologists today make it a practice to "Air out the tomb".
In fact, several tombs did have "curses" spelled out in them, such as "if you enter this tomb unclean you will be eaten by crocodiles", etc. However, there were no curses at all associated with Tut's tomb.
@SailingTheNile There was a famous curse in Tutankhamuns tomb. It said 'If you don't pass this hieroglyphic message on within the next 7 moons, the sun god will come out of you cupboard and you will die. Those silly archaeologists didn't pass it on did they!.
GrownCool, its true if it wasnt for the discovery we wouldnt have known about King Tut. But still generally, by that time Archaeologists could read hieroglyphics but the actual find didnt tell us anything new, it backed up evidence already found about Egyptian lifestyle. Dont get me wrong, the discovery was fantastic, but it wasnt great.
You are crazy, it was an unspoilt tomb! and there was strong evidence to say that Tutankhamun existed, (in fact Tutankhaten, his father being the heretic Akhenaten). In truth that inspired the search, the discovery of the relocated capital at Tel El Amarna. Carter was indeed looking for the tomb of Tut. all along. Genuinely if you believe this to be not 'fantastic', what do you believe to be so? (Meant with friendliness as with these text boxes you dont here tonality. : )
I am always happy to discuss these things, if there is a reason to believe the other person is serious. In your case I am not sure. Phrases like "Ignorant", "Arrogant", "sinful", "you don't pay attention", "I'm the only 1 who makes sense" do not tend to create the atmosphere for intelligent discussion.
1/ The discovery of King Tut's tomb was not the greatest one of all time. It didnt tell historians or archaeologists anything that they didnt already know.
2/ Howard Carter was not cursed and he actually died from Hodgkins disease, its a form of Lymphoma so at least one of you is right. Plus he was kind of a thief.
3/ The Eighteenth dynasty was never meant to be 'disappear' Akhenaten who was meant to be erased from history He was 'the enemy of egypt'.
Are you kidding me ShazOakami King Tut's Tomb discovery was one of the greatest ever we have learnt much about ancient egypt from the heiroglyphics found in his tomb and now we know about King Tut The Boy King. also Howard Carter was the one that set up the search if he wouldnt that boy wouldnt of found the steps so you cant say he didnt find it.
OH, by the way, "they" fooled you well, didn't they??You think Carter found Tutankhamun's tomb.What you see there is a Theater, what "they" wanted YOU to see, what "they "wanted you to know. THEY did it , everyone thinks that is the real Tutankhamun.AH. Leave my civilization in PEACE.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Carter found the tomb, but the corpse is NOT Tutankhamun's. The 18th dynasty was meant to "disapear". That corpse is from a normal boy, NOT the real Tutankhamun, you wish. Prove it, PROVE that is King TUT's corpse.SheeSH. Just study Physics.
It's a long, short "story".The 18th Dynasty, didn't leave any trace, why would they find Tutankhamun's Tomb?He was never a king, a special Boy, and if he was SO Important, why was his corpse all decomposed???Not like the other mummies, well preserved??Well, they didn't leave any trace, their Knowledge of Physics allowed them to go away, they didn't "leave" Tutankhamun's corpse.Sorry, I cannot tell you more. There are somethings Mankind will Never understand.
What about his mummy not being so well preserved? It was preserved wasn't it? I don't get you're point, are you saying he was never a king? Even though the tomb was meant for a king? And it mentioned he was a pharaoh like a thousand times. I don't get it, please elaborate.
Howard Carter found the Tut's tomb on 4 November 1922 and opened it in the same year on 26 November. He died of lymphoma, a type of cancer, in Kensington, London, on March 2, 1939 at the age of 64 so it seems that he didnt died because of the curse. The truth is that the story about the curse was spread by one of the feemale journalists at the time of the opening of the tomb because Carter didnt want to give her exclusive rights to publish the whole story so it was her way to harm him.
HAH my teacher said that if she had discovered the tomb she would have rolled around and checked it out not burry it back up again HAH that make me go lol!!!!!
if carter had left the treasures in the tomb they would have been stolen you fool, Tutankhamun rests in his tomb, not in london. do some bloody research
Actualy, no. Several artifacts from his tomb (and a fair number from other tombs of the period) are in the Tutankhamun exhhibit. But his mummy is still, and is currently scheduled to remain, in his tomb.
You do not unstand that it is being said that he is where he belongs and that most of eveything they had in their tombs belong in the tomb not at some museum.
They murdered king tut's finder and stole his treasure then sold it to that museum.
