Talk:Tutankhamun's curse

Could you include a section about the toxic fungi that inhabit Egyptian tombs and are believed by some to have caused the deaths of the archaeologists? MiddleMan

Should there be an article on Akhenaten/Tutankhaten-Tuatankamun and the rise of monotheism? Or Tut and some of the other oddball-stories that have become attached to him (eg http://thewaxconspiracy.com/deep/the-tutankhamun-deception). (My addition to the 'logic against' - Tutankhamun died in his late teens, 1330 BC, 'Rabbi Joshua ben Joseph' (as he would have been referred to at the time) died AD30+ish in his mid 30s, in a completely different country: and 'one of the things everybody knows about Egypt' is that the Pharoahs married their close relatives. By this logic Harold Bluetooth eating a blackberry and apple pie is Jimmy Wales. 171.33.222.26 (talk) 15:24, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I have come across the 'probably urban myth' that Howard Carter circulated some version of the Tutankhamun's curse story in order to prevent looting of the site.
