Tomb Toxins are another reason for what some believe to be the Mummy's Curse, but most scientists and archaeologists do not believe in this reason because of how unlikely it is for these bacterias to threaten your life. There are many things found in tombs that in certain circumstances could be dangerous and in VERY RARE extreme cases, cause death. There are also bacterias like Pseudomonas and those in the Staphylococcus genus. In recent studies laboratories have discovered there are two kinds of potentially life dangerous molds, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. To people with weakened immune systems, these molds can cause allergic reactions from something as simple as congestion to something as serious as bleeding in the lungs. The idea is that these foods could have attracted insect and mold-like substances. These valuables also include different kinds of foods. It is commonly known that when a pharaoh is put in his tomb there are valuables left inside for him to take with him to the afterlife. An alternate reason discovered that is popular is the idea of Tomb Toxins. Howard did not believe in the curse, rejecting this led to more people looking for alternate reasons. This started when mummies were unwrapped, which inspired writers to write about how the mummies would want and take their revenge. The original concept of a mummy seeking revenge through a curse began in London, England. To him shall come fire, water and pestilence."Īlthough this is not the real birth of the Mummy's Curse, this is the event that brought so much attention to it. On the bracelet was the phrase "Cursed be he who moves my body. Sir Bruce Ingham, a friend of Carter's, received a paperweight that was made of a mummified hand with a scarab beetle bracelet on it. The last significant act was not a death but just a strange sequence of events. This discovery was not made until a few months after Carnarvon died, so this could not be proven. The bite was present on his left cheek and after an examination of King Tut's dead body a lesion was found on his left cheek. He died from a mosquito bite on his cheek after shaving over it, resulting in blood poisoning. This cobra was supposed to represent the king striking his enemies. The significance is that king cobras are symbolic to the Egyptian monarchy. The first of the strange deaths was the death of Howard Carter's pet canary that was eaten by a king cobra.
