On the door to Tutankhamen's tomb, so goes the legend, was inscribed a curse: "Death shall come on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the king..." And in the years hence, it seemed like Tut's mummy was making good on his curse:
On the day the tomb was discovered, Carter's canary, which he had brought with him to Egypt for luck, was devoured by a snake.
A few months later, Carter's financial backer, Lord Carnarvon, died suddenly, perhaps from an infected insect bite.
When Carnarvon died, all the lights in Cairo went out from a power failure.
Although Carnarvon died in Cairo, back at his estate in England, his favorite dog howled and dropped dead.
When Tut's mummy was unwrapped in 1925, his body bore a wound on his face in the exact same spot as Carnarvon's insect bite.
"By 1929," says Howard Carter and the Curse of the Mummy, "eleven people connected with the discovery of the Tomb had died early and of unnatural causes. This included two of Carnarvon's relatives, Carter's personal secretary, Richard Bethell, and Bethell's father, Lord Westbury. Westbury killed himself by jumping from a building. He left a note that read, 'I really cannot stand any more horrors and hardly see what good I am going to do here, so I am making my exit.' "
