Maybe he will face angry spirits from the bygone era as in the mummy movies.

From History Today:
Alleged victims of the curse included Prince Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey of Egypt, shot dead by his wife in 1923; Sir Archibald Douglas Reid, who supposedly X-rayed the mummy and died mysteriously in 1924; Sir Lee Stack, the governor-general of the Sudan, who was assassinated in Cairo in 1924; Arthur Mace of Carter’s excavation team, said to have died of arsenic poisoning in 1928; Carter’s secretary Richard Bethell, who supposedly died smothered in his bed in 1929; and his father, who committed suicide in 1930.

((article said no curse was proven to be found at the tomb despite the rumor))
Tutankhamun’s Curse?
The archaeologist Howard Carter died on 2 March 1939.
