Chapter 271 Pooh!Pharaoh's Stepmother 1
"Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, death will come to him."

Such a line of epitaphs engraved on the mausoleum made Carter and his party unbearably worried.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. These curses are all fake. Even if they are true, after such a long time, even the powerful curses will all disappear in the long river of time."

Howard Carter, who took the lead, smiled and comforted those who followed him. Everyone laughed when they heard this, but the chill in Carter's heart never disappeared.

It doesn't matter, I am just out of hobby, not a hateful tomb robber, trying to steal Pharaoh's treasure.Comforting himself in this way, Howard Carter finally calmed down.

In order to explore Tutankhamun's tomb, Carter made a lot of meticulous preparations, such as exploring the entire "Valley of the Kings", drawing maps, and collecting materials left by all previous archaeologists.

Lord Carnarvon's great financial support and the participation of several other archaeologists made his ambitions possible.However, the start was not smooth. Carter was disturbed by troubles such as World War I, internal strife, and lack of funds. The most frustrating thing was that several excavations that people thought were successful turned out to be not the target.

Come with joy, return with disappointment.Even the persistent Howard Carter was frustrated.Is it true that I can't find Tutankhamun's tomb in my lifetime?
It wasn't until the blue painted pottery cup and gold leaf with Tutankhamun's name abandoned by the tomb robbers were found in the valley. After careful inspection, Carter locked the entrance to Tutankhamun's tomb.

Before entering the tomb, Lord Carnarvon smiled and patted Carter on the shoulder: "Howard, if I still don't really find Tutankhamun's tomb this time, I'm afraid I won't be in the mood to explore the truth of the world."

Howard Carter smiled flatteringly: "Lord Carnarvon, this time it must be true, and our efforts will definitely be rewarded."

Howard's flattery is obvious, because after so long, he has gone bankrupt, and if it weren't for Lord Carnarvon's funding, he would not be able to realize his ideals at all.

Lord Carnarvon responded coolly: "I hope so."

After three days of hard work, the first door of the mausoleum was opened. The corridor was full of gravel. After cleaning, an archaeologist pointed to the seal on the second door and exclaimed in surprise: "Then It’s Tutankhamun’s seal!”

Howard Carter was ecstatic, forced to suppress the joy in his heart, and opened the stone door with everyone.

Since Carter was the leader, after the stone door was cut to allow people to enter, Carter was the first to sneak in sideways through the gap cut in the door with a candle.

After a long time, Carter remembered the situation at that time, and still sighed: "What a magnificent beauty, I only saw it once, and my life is already satisfied."

When the light of the candles illuminated the tomb, Carter felt that he had been surrounded by gold.Countless sculptures and gold exuded golden light, and gold coins were randomly thrown on the ground, almost covering the entire ground.

What Carter saw were the funerary objects piled in the front hall: gleaming treasure chests, alabaster bottles, black shrines, finely carved chairs, gold crowns, etc., as well as a mighty chariot wrapped in gold.

Carter's exclamation fell into the ears of his companions waiting outside, and they scrambled to climb in, feeling dizzy when they saw the scene in front of them.

"My God..."

After Carter and his team entered the tomb, they began to organize the cultural relics inside, but what is strange is that they never found out where the pharaoh's mummy was.

"There!"

Carter pointed to the back wall, where the color was obviously different from the other walls. There were two golden statues of spear-wielding warriors on both sides, as if guarding something.

They opened the third stone door.

After discovering four jars containing the pharaoh's internal organs, statues of gods and pharaohs, and priceless treasures such as necklaces, rings, and scepters, they moved on to the coffin that almost occupied the entire tomb.

Carter carefully measured the huge coffin covered with blue porcelain and gold—5 meters long, 3.3 meters wide, and 2.75 meters high. This is really a huge coffin.

After opening four such wooden coffins in one go, they saw a goddess at the lower end of the yellow quartzite coffin, with outstretched arms and wings supporting the foot of the coffin, as if protecting the pharaoh's body from infringement.

Remove the lid of the coffin and uncover layers of wrapping cloth. Inside is a human-shaped wooden gold coffin with Tutankhamun's head carved on it. The face and hands are made of pure gold, the eyes are obsidian, and the eyebrows and eyelids are bluestone glass.The pharaoh holds the scepter in his right hand, the whip of Hades in his left, and crosses his hands in front of his chest.

After opening the golden coffin, another layer of human-shaped gold-plated wooden coffin was opened. It was originally thought to be the mummy of Tutankhamun, but it turned out to be another layer of human-shaped pure gold coffin, which was wrapped in layers of sackcloth. Pharaoh mummy.I saw that he was covered with gems and amulets, his face was covered with a golden mask, and a gem was in his chest.

Because the mausoleum was too dark to facilitate inspection, everyone transported some easily portable cultural relics out of the mausoleum and conducted inspection where a group of people were stationed.

When he left the tomb, Howard Carter saw the row of epitaphs again - whoever disturbed the peace of the pharaoh, death would come to his head.

The fellow teammates have already been occupied with joy. They moved things excitedly with smiles on their faces.For some reason, Carter felt an ominous chill rising from the soles of his feet... The row of epitaphs seemed not to be a warning, but the final outcome!

……

Back at the camp, Natasha Carter heard the sound and ran out happily.

"Father."

Howard looked at his daughter and patted her head.

"Dear Natasha, I'm worrying you."

Natasha is only 16 years old now. She looks sweet and lovely. Carter's wife has passed away. Carter is worried about her daughter, so she brought Natasha with her during the expedition. Of course, Carter will not allow her daughter to go to the mausoleum.

"Father, go take a bath first."

Natasha looked at Howard Carter and said with concern.

……

Howard Carter thought he had fulfilled his lifelong dream, that he would gain fame and status, as well as money, and live a life of abundance.But unexpectedly, the disaster came when everyone was unprepared.

In the tomb, Lord Carnarvon was accidentally bitten by a mosquito on his left cheek. At the time, he didn't care, but the next morning he accidentally scratched the pimple on his left cheek while shaving, and died of infection .

The death of Lord Carnarvon was just the beginning. In the following three years and three months, 22 people involved in the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb died unexpectedly.The terrible curse seems to have come true.
