The curse of the pharaohs refers to the belief that anyone who disturbs the mummy of an ancient Egyptian person, especially if it was a pharaoh, is subject to a curse. This curse, which does not differentiate between thieves and well-meaning archaeologists, has caused bad luck, disease or death. Since the mid-twentieth century, many have discussed Books and documentaries that curse caused by explanatory scientific causes such as bacteria or radiation. However, the modern origins of Egyptian tales about the mummy's curse are primarily in European cultures, the shift from magic to science to explain curses, and their changing uses of the disorder of the dead to amuse the masses in A horror film, indicating that Egyptian curses are primarily a cultural phenomenon, not exclusively a scientific one.
There are occasional instances of genuine ancient curses appearing inside or on the facade of a tomb as in the case of the mastaba (an ancient Egyptian burial) of Khentica brother of the Sixth Dynasty at Saqqara. They appear apparently as direct guidance to priests to carefully protect the tomb and maintain ritual purity rather than warn of possible thieves. Although there are stories of curses dating back to the 19th century, they multiplied in the wake of Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. Despite popular misconceptions, there was no true sin curse present in Pharaoh's tomb. Evidence for such curses related to King Tutankhamun has been considered to be so scanty that it is viewed as a "pure clap trap" by Donald Redford.
