One hundred years ago, the world became transfixed on a little-known pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty as gold, jewelry and other fantastic treasures saw the light of day for the first time in more than 3,000 years. Public attention shifted to the possibility of a curse plaguing all those who had entered King Tut s tomb.
When King Tut's tomb itself was discovered in 1922, some believed the Egyptian pharaoh unleashed a powerful curse of death and destruction upon all who dared disturb his eternal slumber.
