TUTANKHAMUN'S CURSE (PT 2): THE CASE FOR THE CURSE The prosecution has had its say. Now the defense rises. In Part One, we looked at the famous Curse of Tutankhamun and the arguments that have been used for a century to dismiss it. Coincidence. Sensational newspapers. Bad science. A handful of deaths woven into a story that grew more frightening with every retelling. Fair enough. But now we're putting the Curse of Tutankhamun itself on trial, and this time the defense gets to call its witnesses. What happens when we stop asking whether every legend surrounding King Tut's tomb was literally true and start asking a different question: Is there anything about curses that we don't fully understand? We'll examine some of history's most intriguing curses, the strange events attached to them, and mankind's ancient belief that disturbing the dead can carry consequences. We'll also revisit the remarkable interest of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, a man famous for creating literature's greatest champion of logic and deduction, yet who believed there were forces in this world that science had not adequately explained. We're not promising to prove the Curse of Tutankhamun. We're simply asking the jury to keep an open mind. Because after thousands of years of warnings from tomb builders, priests, legends and civilizations around the world, perhaps there's one piece of advice that doesn't require a belief in the supernatural: Don't mess with the dead.
