Episode 16 - The Curse of Tutankhamun

"All people who enter this tomb who will make evil against this tomb and destroy it, may the crocodile be against them in water, and snakes against them on land. May the hippopotamus be against them in water, the scorpion on land." Egyptian archaeologist, Egyptologist, and former Minister of State for Antiquities Affairs - Zahi Hawass reading the curse protecting the tombs of the builders of the pyramids of Giza. It's the 4th of November 1922, and a young boy carrying water was about to stumble on an innocent looking stone that turned out to be the top step of a entire flight of stairs which led to the tomb of the most famous Pharaoh of them all. Archaeologist Howard Carter had been in Egypt since around 1891, but it was his partnership with George Herbert, The 5th Earl of Carnarvon in 1907, that brought about the most success for both men.
