Hopefully another un-plundered tomblike Tut’s will be found some day.

Un-plundered Tombs were found in Tanis—one with a silver coffin but these were done in WW II and didn’t get the PR that Tut did! The findings of two Royal Tombs was bad luck for the French Team that found them because no one was interested! Sad Really because they were important finds.

Earlier in the 20th century a splendid unplundered tomb was found, relatives of Tut’s in fact, some of those items were included in the Tut exhibition I saw a few years ago in Chicago.

BTW, the supposed curse was written by some 20th c yellow journalist. There was no curse. Caernavon died of an infection that set in when he nicked a mosquito bite while shaving — also he wasn’t a young man. And as imaginary curses go, this one was unusually slow-acting, taking twenty-some years to finally get everyone involved — unless one counts the Egyptian labor who helped with the excavation , the last of whom died in the 1970s I think.
