The curse of the pharaohs is an alleged spell said to be cast upon any person who disturbs the mummy of a powerful Egyptian. This curse, which apparently does not differentiate between thieves and archaeologists, is said to cause bad luck, illness or even death. Since the mid-20th century, many historians have even argued the curse is real, due to the unexplainable circumstances that occur after the ancient coffin.

Today, archaeologists wear protective masks when entering such resting places.
They are aware that bacteria active in the decomposed organic material can enter open wounds and spread infection.
However, not all deaths can be accredited to this, in addition to the bizarre experiences some researchers still have following the openings.
Some have detailed how they experienced very vivid dreams, claiming to be “haunted” by the mummies they apparently disturbed.
