The Egyptian religion doesn't actually have curses. To make such a thing would have kept the maker from the afterlife. The curse was supposedly first claimed by a novelist named Corelli and given great sensationalism when Arthur Conan Doyle, of all people, announced that Carnarvon's death was likely the result of a curse. Silliness. Carnarvon died of an infected mosquito bite by some sources, pneumonia by others.
