When one studies the mystery of these "sanctuaries",
and tries to understand their invisible protection, one can not do without at
least an allusion to what may be called the "case"of Tut Ankh Amon: many
who violated his tomb (with the exception of one), were "punished". It all
seemed, as if the protection of the sanctuary, even at a distance of 3500 years,
operated with awesome efficiency.
Of course this superstitious explanation caused
rationalists to smile. To them, the death of 18 persons, so said "victims"
of the curse of the Pharaoh, was something completely natural, it was pure
coincidence that these 18 people died prematurely and under strange
circumstances.
Whenever reason triumphs over superstition it is cause
for rejoicing. However, without wanting to cause any controversy over this
subject, it seems interesting to me to allow the reader the opportunity to
decide for himself. A brief chronological recapitulation of the events, which no
one can deny, will allow the reader to draw his own personal conclusions.
On 25 November 1922, two Englishmen, Lord Carnarvon and
Howard Carter discovered the tomb of a Pharaoh of the XVIII dynasty Tut Ankh
Amon. This tomb contained "the most fabulous archaeological treasure of all
time."
At the entrance of the tomb was the following
inscription:
"Death’s wings will touch who ever
touches the pharaoh."
It would take ten years before all the rooms of the
mausoleum would be opened and the totality of its treasures removed. But, even
before the end of the work, the massacre began.
