Day 153: Research Something New

King Tut's tomb is said to have been cursed by ancient Egyptians. The tomb itself is remarkable because when it was uncovered,  it was virtually intact. No other burial tomb had ever been discovered in such pristine condition. Following the discovery, a series of deaths occurred leading to the sensational legends of the cursed tomb. Modern science explains the deaths, as a result of exposure to the bacteria in the tomb. Some theories suggest a type of poison was painted on the walls to punish any violators. Of course, some more imaginative theories include Egyptian black magic. Nevertheless, the story of the tomb, King Tut himself, and ancient Egypt are very interesting. I am glad a certain ninth grader needed "help" with his English report. It was much more interesting than the Satchel Page report that a certain fifth grader needed "help" with last week.
