The unsealing of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber is remembered as a pivotal moment in archaeology, combining patience, expertise, and meticulous documentation to unlock secrets hidden for over three millennia.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, #HowardCarter opened the tomb of #Tutankhamun of #Egypt's #NewKingdom. The pharaoh died in 1323 BCE, ~3245 years earlier, and was buried with his stillborn children. A minor ruler who died young, he restored the old gods following the #Amarna period.

"It was a sight surpassing all precedent, and one we never dreamed of seeing."

☀️ #OTD in #History 26 November 1922, British archaeologists #HowardCarter and #LordCarnarvon became the first people to enter the tomb of Pharaoh #Tutankhamun in more than 3000 years.

The Mummy’s CURSE Exposed: King Tut, Lord Carnarvon & The Media Hoax "Death shall come on swift wings to him that touches the tomb of the Pharaoh." ⚰️🐍 It is the most famous warning in history. When Howard Carter cracked open the seal of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, he revealed the greatest treasure the world had ever seen. But did he also unleash an ancient evil? Within months, the expedition's financier, Lord Carnarvon, was dead. The lights in Cairo mysteriously went out. A canary was eaten by a cobra. The world was convinced: The Mummy’s Curse was real. But what if the "Curse of the Pharaohs" wasn't created by an ancient priest, but by a jealous journalist? In this episode, we open the files on the 1922 excavation to separate the gold from the lies. We explore Howard Carter’s diaries and the real cause of Lord Carnarvon’s death (spoiler: it involves a razor and a mosquito, not a ghost). We reveal how a media war between the London Times and rival reporters like Arthur Weigall invented the curse to sell papers. We also dive into the strange involvement of Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used his influence to turn a medical tragedy into a supernatural sensation, and debunk the separate folklore of the British Museum’s "Unlucky Mummy." We’re digging up the truth on: The Post Hoc Fallacy: Why bad timing isn't the same as a curse. The Media Hoax: How "Fake News" was born in the Valley of the Kings. The Science: How an infected insect bite became a global legend. Grab your flashlight and your skepticism. We’re going into the tomb. 🎧 Press PLAY to break the curse and discover the history they didn't teach you in school!

Relief printing on papyrus is tricky business, and some printing inks won't dry on it, but it worked out in the end!
