Hvis du har set en mumiefilm, så ved du, at de toiletpapirsindrullede herrer ofte er forbundet med bad vibes. ⚰️🧻💀
Det fik arkæologen Howard Carter og hans hold at føle på egen krop, da de i 1920'erne fandt faraoen Tutankhamons grav. For inden længe begyndte alle i ekspeditionen at dø af alt fra mygge-og-barberings-relaterede ulykker til røntgen-overdosis. Tutankhamons grav var nemlig forbandet!
... I hvert fald hvis du spurgte pressen og Sherlock Holmes-forfatteren/whackjob Arthur Conan Doyle. De var nemlig overbeviste om, at rækken af dødsfald havde en overnaturlig forklaring.
I dagens afsnit graver vi os dybt ned i den egyptiske historie og nærlæser hieroglyfferne for at finde ud af, om der virkelig var tale om oldægyptisk hævn fra det hinsides, eller om der kunne der findes en mere jordnær forklaring?
