The ancient curse of Carnarvon is a legendary tale that surrounds the death of Lord Carnarvon, an English nobleman and amateur archaeologist, who financed the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the early 1920s. The curse, also known as the "Curse of the Pharaohs," is said to be a curse placed upon anyone who disturbs the rest of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Lord Carnarvon was instrumental in discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun, along with the renowned archaeologist Howard Carter. However, shortly after the tomb was opened in 1922, Lord Carnarvon fell ill. He had contracted an infected mosquito bite, which eventually turned septic and led to blood poisoning. Lord Carnarvon died within weeks of opening the tomb, leading many to believe that he had fallen victim to the curse.
