Tutankhamen's sealed burial chambers were miraculously intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the mummy of the teenage king.
In the 13th century B.C., Tutankhamen and the other "Amarna" kings were publicly condemned, and most records of them were destroyed--including the location of Tutankhamen's tomb.
It was the antechamber of Tutankhamen's tomb, and it was gloriously untouched.

The main event as the Tall Ships left harbour led by HMS Exeter was seen by many thousands who lined the shores to see this unique spectacle.
The display by the Red Arrows was no less fantastic as the flight demonstrated the new flight patterns that can only amaze watchers at the sheer precision with which the pilots put their aircraft into such innovative and stunning display routines.
The need to embrace the ideas and the commitment of those who have a positive vision for what Gosport can be, are so often thwarted by the promotion of the negative views of those rampant few who would propound that the jaded view of life that is theirs is good for all.

Discovering Tutankhamen’s tomb west of Thebes on November 25, 1922 provided the world with the first glimpse of the most incredible burial treasure in existence.
There were in fact many broken monuments of Tutankhamen, as Egyptian gods were transformed anthropomorphically to resemble the pharaoh or “dear son”, but all of these had been later appropriated by King Haremheb, who had been one of the powers behind the throne when Tutankhamen ruled.
Soon the curse and myth of Tutankhamen would be famous the world over and the stories became more fantastic as the expedition got closer to the sarcophagus itself.

During Tutankhamen's reign the capital was moved back to Thebes, and the old polytheism was reinstated.

Lord Carnavon's demise at 57 by blood poisoning and pneumonia, apparently caused by a mosquito bite, caused fearful rumour to spread: that an early and unnatural death awaited the tomb raiders, every man and his dog.
Only 25 of those 44 were present at one of the four times when they could have been exposed to the mummy's curse: when the tomb's inner sanctum was opened; when Tutankhamen's sarcophagus was opened; when the sarcophagus' three gold nested coffins were opened; and when Tutankhamen's mummy was examined.
The sample size is necessarily small, but inasmuch as those exposed to any potential curse lived, on average, to the age of 70, it must have been a rather weak curse at best.
