Terrifying & True | King Tut’s Curse: Deaths After the Tomb or Media-Made Myth?

King Tut’s curse became a worldwide story after Lord Carnarvon died months after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Terrifying & True revisits Howard Carter’s 1922 excavation, the deaths attached to it, and the newspaper coverage that made ancient revenge seem possible. Coincidence, illness, and the long lives of many people associated with the tomb complicate the legend. Explore the Curse of the Pharaohs as a collision of Egyptology, fear, and sensational storytelling. Was a boy king guarding his burial—or were modern readers helping build a myth?
