My great-great Aunt Helen Bachert Aldrich and her husband, National Geographic photographer Edgar Aldrich, were both there that day. Edgar took many of the photos of the event which subsequently appeared in National Geographic.

Edgar and Helen died together in a mysterious auto crash having no apparent cause in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia in 1928.

The curse of the tomb?

We'll never know.

Thanks martin.

Note: this topic is from 11/04/2006. Thanks yankeedame. Nearly 95 years ago, on the 26th Nov '22, Carter and Carnavon entered the tomb, and found the inner shrine still with its wax seals intact. When the outer coffin was finally revealed, the smell of the flowers, long dead and dessicated on top of the box, was still in the air.

Oops...I forgot. We are no longer supposed to sing “King Tut” as it has been deemed cultural appropriation and racist...
