The Curse of King Tut

The 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of Kings remains one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time. But when Howard Carter broke through the sealed entrance to reveal thousands of priceless artefacts and the teenage body of the boy king, rumours of the Pharaoh's revenge consumed the media. And when Carter's benefactor Lord Carnarvon suddenly died, the belief that a deadly curse had been unleashed ran like wildfire. This documentary looks back at Carter and Carnarvon's discovery, and explores the truth behind the stories of the curse
