Tutankhamun, the mystery of the curse linked to the tomb of the young Egyptian ruler has been discovered.

After over a hundred years of deaths of numerous excavators intent on bringing the tomb to light, the mystery finally seems to have been solved. To reveal it, as reported The newspaperwas the scholar Ross Fellowes in research published in Journal of Scientific Explorationwhich explains how inside the sealed mortuary over 3,000 years agothere was the presence of uranium radiation.

According to the scientist’s research, the levels of uranium would have been so high that anyone who came into contact with it would have developed disease illnesses and the cancer. “Both contemporary and ancient Egyptian populations have an unusually high incidence of hematopoietic tumors of the bone, blood, or lymph, for which radiation exposure is a primary cause.“Fellowes wrote in his study.

But that is not all. Fellowes also remarked that this radiation was not only present in Tutankhamun’s tomb, but in general in all archaeological sites in Egypt. It is also hypothesized that those who built the tombs were aware of the toxins present and this would also explain the warnings engraved on the walls of the tombs, which did not refer so much to the curse of the pharaohs, but rather to a warning.

In short, it is a discovery that finally reveals all the mysteries linked to the ancient Egyptian deities. Instead, questions arise regarding why uranium was present in the graves. The answer to this cannot be given and this is why research by scholars continues.
