One of the most enduring myths surrounding Tutankhamun is the so-called "Curse of the Pharaohs." According to this legend, anyone who enters a pharaoh's tomb will be cursed with bad luck or even death.
The curse of Tutankhamun became widely known after several members of the team that discovered the tomb died under mysterious circumstances. These deaths were attributed to the curse, although modern scholars have largely dismissed the idea of a curse as superstition.
It is true that several members of the team that discovered the tomb did die under unusual circumstances, but there is no evidence to suggest that their deaths were the result of a curse. Most of the deaths were caused by natural causes or accidents, and there is no evidence to suggest that any curse was involved.
