Archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed Tutankhamun's treasure-filled tomb in 1922, the first discovered with its riches so intact but Carter and his team partly destroyed the mummy in search of more treasures buried with the pharaoh, separating it into 18 sections. Humidity and heat, much of it generated by the breath of the tomb's 5,000 daily visitors, have also taken a toll. Right now the mummy has no special protection from the humidity in the tomb. A new case will be specially sealed to protect it from this sort of damage.


You might be asking about the mummy curse. The person who funded the discovery of King Tut's Tomb, died shortly after the discovery. The path to his death began in the spring of 1923 when he was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. During his morning shaving routines, he further aggravated the mosquito bite. It soon became infected and Lord Carnarvon found himself ill. He suffered a high fever and chills. A doctor was sent to examine him but medical attention arrived too late and Lord Carnarvon died. At that exact moment the lights in Cairo mysteriously went out. Once Carnarvon died the media went wild with stories of his death. They claimed King Tut wanted vengeance and announced a mummy's curse, which targeted those who had entered the tomb. Not only did the death of Carnarvon get all the people in an uproar but other stories began to surface as well. Of the stories that surfaced, two remain prominent. One of the prominent stories is that a cobra killed Howard Carter's pet canary after the discovery of King Tu's tomb. The other story is that Lord Carnarvon's dog howled and dropped dead at two in the morning when Carnarvon died.

When King Tut died they took a sharp medal stick, stuck it up his nose and took out his brain! Then, They took out his liver, his stomach, his intestents, and his lungs. They kept in his heart because they thought he would need it in the after life, but they thought the brain was useless. Yes in the old days in Egypt when a great ruler dies they would take out his brain and more after that they would paint the great rulers body and then wrap the ruler. When I first found out about this ritual I was fascinated!
