King Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, was one of the most powerful and influential pharaohs in ancient Egypt. He ruled for over 60 years and left a lasting legacy on the country. However, one particular aspect of his reign that has fascinated historians and archaeologists is the curse that supposedly followed anyone who disturbed his tomb. The idea of curses surrounding ancient Egyptian tombs has captured the popular imagination for centuries. Tales of mummies coming to life, plagues, and misfortune befalling those who dared to disturb the resting places of the pharaohs have been a staple of literature and movies. And when it comes to King Ramses II, his curse is no exception.
The next day, Courage is digging on the farm and discovers the slab. He takes it to Eustace, who initially thinks that it is garbage. Shortly after he throws it out the window, a news broadcast says that the slab is worth a million dollars. Professor Frith then shows up and tries to reclaim it, but cannot, as Eustace's greed makes him demand a million dollars in return.
Eustace counters this curse by stuffing cotton in his ears, and Courage stops the music by smashing the gramophone emitting it, hidden behind a rock. Eustace counters this curse by stuffing cotton in his ears, and Courage stops the music by smashing the gramophone emitting it, hidden behind a rock.
And when it comes to King Ramses II, his curse is no exception. The curse of King Ramses dauntlessness is said to have started when his tomb was discovered in the 19th century. The first person to enter the tomb was Giovanni Belzoni, an Italian archaeologist, who later died under mysterious circumstances.
King Ramses' Curse
The episode opens with two cats thieves that stole King Ramses' slab. Upon being chased by a police helicopter, they jump out of their car and bury the slab by the Bagges' water pump. They are about to get back in and drive away, when King Ramses appears in the middle of the road, and sets his locust curse upon them.
The next day, Courage is digging on the farm and discovers the slab. He takes it to Eustace, who initially thinks that it is garbage. Shortly after he throws it out the window, a news broadcast says that the slab is worth a million dollars. Professor Frith then shows up and tries to reclaim it, but cannot, as Eustace's greed makes him demand a million dollars in return.
Almost immediately after the professor leaves, King Ramses shows up and demands the slab. After Eustace refuses, he sets his first curse on them, shown by the water droplet on the slab magically disappearing. Immediately thereafter, the farmhouse begins to fill with water. Courage is able to save the day, however, by pulling out a plug in the basement, allowing the water to flow out of the house.
King Ramses then unleashes his second curse on the Bagge family. This curse comes in the form of horrible music. Eustace counters this curse by stuffing cotton in his ears, and Courage stops the music by smashing the gramophone emitting it, hidden behind a rock. When he does this, King Ramses sets loose his third and final curse: locusts.
When this happens, Courage finally wrestles Eustace for control of the slab. The fighting doesn't do any good until the locusts begin to eat the walls down around them. After that, Eustace throws the slab away, stopping the locusts. However, as soon as they go away, he runs to the slab and picks it up. He claims that Ramses has run out of curses, but the locusts return and attack Eustace when he refuses to return the slab. King Ramses then presumably has Eustace take his place as a mummy, as shown in the final scene.
This set the stage for the legend of the curse to take hold. Over the years, many other individuals involved in the excavation and study of Ramses' tomb have also experienced misfortunes. Some have died prematurely, others have suffered accidents or illnesses, and many have claimed to be haunted by strange occurrences. While there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of a curse, the stories and legends surrounding Ramses' tomb have persisted. One possible explanation for the supposed curse is the presence of harmful bacteria or toxic substances in the tomb. Ancient Egyptian burial practices involved the use of various chemicals and materials, some of which could be hazardous to human health. Exposure to these substances could have caused the illnesses and deaths associated with the curse. Another explanation is the psychological power of belief. The idea of a curse can be a powerful force in shaping people's behavior and experiences. If someone believes they are cursed, they may become more likely to attribute any negative events or misfortunes to the curse, even if there is a more rational explanation. Regardless of the truth behind the curse, the fascination with King Ramses II and his tomb continues to captivate people around the world. The story of the dauntless curse serves as a reminder of the enduring power of ancient Egypt and the mysteries that still surround its rulers. Whether fact or fiction, the legend of King Ramses curse will continue to intrigue and captivate for generations to come..

Review: I must admit, I had high hopes for "King Ramses Curse Dauntlessness", but it simply did not deliver. The movie lacked depth and failed to establish a strong emotional connection with the audience. The acting felt forced, with wooden performances from the entire cast. Additionally, the plot was poorly developed and felt disjointed at times. I found myself losing interest halfway through and couldn't wait for it to be over.
