King Tut's tomb contained many treasures but was also thought to be cursed. When archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tut's intact burial chamber in 1922, he and his patron Lord Carnarvon found gold masks and coffins filled with jewels. However, some people later died under mysterious circumstances, leading to beliefs that opening the tomb released an ancient Egyptian curse.
