King Tutankhamun - Mummy's curse kills Twelve Men? | Howard Carter Discovers Tutankhamun's Tomb

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! ---------------------------- If you are new here, you may not know that Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into Londons haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world! -------------------------------- PATREON ——————————- please support us on Patreon. www.patreon.com/macabrelondon Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Barry, Sam, Sarah, Kate, Veronica & Mary And to all of our $5 tier patrons...
