Egypt It is in the desert, but it is a country full of mystery and wonderful relics of antiquity. And one of the aspects is the paranormal phenomena that, with thousands of years of history, could very well be called the Haunted Egypt.
The Valley of the Kings and its ghosts
The Valley of the Kings is located in the hills of Thebes in Luxor. Simply put, it is a valley in which many royal tombs were placed in the hills for a period of about 500 years in the era of the New Kingdom of Egypt. More than sixty tombs have been discovered in the Valley of the Kings and more likely others will be discovered in the future.
The truth is that there are many spooky tales about the Valley of the Kings. One of them relates that at midnight, the vision of an Egyptian pharaoh driving a chariot is seen to shine in the Valley of the Kings. Witnesses have seen him in all his ghostly glory, wearing his gold necklace and headdress and driving a chariot with black horses in front.
Many tourists and archaeologists who visit or work in the Valley of the Kings claim that there is really a feeling that something is out of the ordinary in the air ... possibly even paranormal or supernatural.
There are legends that say that it is actually that the ghosts of ancient Egyptian royalty and nobles drive and lead to the discovery of the tombs in the enchanted Valley of the Kings. One of the most popular and most disturbing finds is the discovery of the tomb of King Tut.
The Curse of King Tut's Tomb
One of the greatest discoveries in the Valley of the Kings was the discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1920. Along with this historic discovery came what is known as the "Pharaoh's Curse." In just a few days after King Tut's tomb was made known to the world and archaeologists began studying the contents of the tomb, bad things happened.
The archaeologist who helped find the tomb died a few months after it was opened. The strange fact surrounding this pharaoh's curse was that at the time of the discoverer's death, all the lights in the city of Cairo went out.
Is the tomb of King Tut protected by the pharaohs of old? Is there really a curse placed on the graves so that whoever opens the graves will get sick or die?
