The ancient Egyptian king Tutankhamun was happily resting in the after life when Howard Carter, a down and out archaeologist exacted a plan to discover the lost king.

However, he may have got more than he bargained for when he broke into the tomb when along with the undamged treasures of the dead kings life, came an ancient curse from his mummy (I mean his body, not his mother!) Or, did it?

Today, we uncover the story of Howard Carter and the curse of King Tutankhamun!
