Egyptian CURSE? Six archaeologists DIE mysteriously within MONTHS of opening sarcophagus

SIX archaeologists died mysteriously just months after they opened up an ancient Egyptian coffin, a bombshell documentary has revealed.

The curse of the pharaohs is an alleged spell said to be cast upon any person who disturbs the mummy of a powerful Egyptian. This curse, which apparently does not differentiate between thieves and archaeologists, is said to cause bad luck, illness or even death. Since the mid-20th century, many historians have even argued the curse is real, due to the unexplainable circumstances that occur after the ancient coffin.

For many years, pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings on the banks of the River Nile in Egypt, with 64 tombs already opened.

However, Netflix documentary series "Top 10 Secrets and Mysteries" series revealed how one discovery left researchers both baffled and terrified.

“The famous tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in 1922,” the 2017 documentary detailed.

“Soon after the discovery, mysterious deaths were reported among the team of archaeologists who found the tomb.

“The deaths were ascribed to a curse cast by the pharaohs to ward off grave-robbers.

“Most of the deaths can be explained medically, however, of the 12 people present during the opening of the sarcophagus, six died mysteriously within a few months.”

Today, archaeologists wear protective masks when entering such resting places.

They are aware that bacteria active in the decomposed organic material can enter open wounds and spread infection.

However, not all deaths can be accredited to this, in addition to the bizarre experiences some researchers still have following the openings.

Some have detailed how they experienced very vivid dreams, claiming to be “haunted” by the mummies they apparently disturbed.

It is so lucky that our Prime Minister chose to study to be a drama teacher, rather than studying Egyptian archaeology!

Probably got a whiff of ancient mold in the coffin that did them in.

They also went down to the village and got a case of clap, or worse. I doubt that the mummy was involved in their night of whoopie.

No, it was the curse of his wife, Queen Hotsi Totsi.

There was a female Pharaoh named Queen Hatshepsut. She dressed like a male Pharaoh including fake chin beard. Quite accomplished in her time.

It’s something else, or coincidence as there are no curses, spells or incantations that work.

Patrick of Ireland:

Patrick Pt. Two

Patrick Attends the Feast of the King of Tara When Patrick arrived at the banquet hall, the King and dignitaries were already seated. Patrick waited to see who would rise to greet him.

It would have been considered an insult to refrain from rising upon the entrance of a guest, especially one who had been invited personally by the King. The man who did rise was the king’s poet, Dubthach and a younger man named Fiacc.
They both later became disciples.

Although everyone else including King Laeghaire was very angry with Patrick because his words has caused the death of the kings druid, Patrick stood firm and confident.

The other druid-wizard, Lucat-mael, still very bitter of the death of his comrade, Lochru, and wanting to please the King, poisoned Patrick’s cup.

Patrick aware that most of the people at the Kings court would want him dead, had already prayed on the way to the castle. Patrick blessed all that he ate and drank in the Name of the Lord and the poison had no ill-effect.

King Laeghaire had decided that there would be an open “battle” between Patrick and his God and the druids and their demonic power. This was to take place at the bottom of the hill.

Lucat first proposed that they both try to bring snow upon the plains and Patrick said he had no desire to go against the will of God.

Lucat said that he didn’t care at all what Patricks God wanted, he was going to bring the snow and demonstrate the power of his gods. Because of his unwillingness, Lucat believed that snow was not among Patrick’s collection of miracles. Very soon, as Lucat chanted and prayed, snow fell all around the people. Patrick then said to him, “Now get rid of the snow.’

Lucat confessed that he was unable. “ In evil does your power lie” said Patrick, and raising his right arm, he blessed the plain in the Name of the Lord Jesus. The snow immediately melted.

“Now dispel the darkness,” said Patrick. But he could not. Patrick again blessed the plain and the dark clouds rolled away.

After several other manifestations of druid magic, the king saw that his wizard was losing the battle and then proposed that the druid books and the Christian books be cast into the stream which flowed down the hill of Tara. Patrick was willing but the druid was not. “He has water as a god” he said. (He was referring to the rite of baptism). “Then throw them into the fire,” said the king. But again the wizard would not. “He also venerates the god of fire” ( referring to the fire of the Holy Spirit).

Patrick finally decided to put an end to the demonstrations and suggested they both be put into a hut and shut in. And the huts be set alight. Seeing there was no escape from the decision and as he already was humiliated, Lucat agreed. The huts were set ablaze and Patrick like the children in the fiery furnace, was unharmed. The wizard of course died in the flames...

No, Queen Hatshepsut’s reign was marked by great achievement & improving Egypt economically & militarily.

Hatshepsut would turn up her royal nose at her degraded descendant.

How do you say, “What’s that she’s wearing, a camel blanket!?” in hieroglyphics?
