mummy curse, the curse of the pharaoh ... Since ancient times people believe that disturbed the dead sooner or later will rise from the grave, and will seek revenge.Anyway, to be honest, morals and faith does not allow any disrespect to the deceased.But science has always considered the moral norms that prevent satisfy the curiosity of scientists, superfluous.Want to know everything!I want to see, I looked like Tamerlane and Other Tutankhamun, who died many years ago!In short, the ranks of hunters mummies replenished and replenished, and the stories of curses multiply and multiply.
Do not believe me?We will not go far.June 21, 1941, Soviet archeologists have disturbed the remains of Tamerlane to anthropologist Gerasimov could recreate the bones of the skull true face of ancient commander.The next day the Great Patriotic War.Coincidence?However, rumor has it that before the opening of the tomb were three gray-haired wise men, and warned archaeologist Malik Kayumov, that, well, if the dust disturbed Tamerlane, the war starts.Malik informed the members of the governmental commission, but the solution is not canceled.Then he learned about predicting Marshal Zhukov and Stalin said.And the power of Tamerlane quickly reburied.On the following day the world learned of the victory at Stalingrad.And after the burial of Tamerlane it has been completely restored, hosted the famous tank battle of Kursk.
go around Egypt side
Since the XIX century, archaeologists and amateurs flocked in droves to Egypt in search of the treasures of the ancient pyramids.They invaded the tomb, seized all that they contain, were taken out of the country and sold to museums and private collections.In 1922, British scientists, archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon opened the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen.Found there many priceless treasures of antiquity, but apparently disturbed some dark forces, dormant for thousands of years.Two months later he came down Lord Carnarvon.His life, as expressed by doctors, took a fever from the bite of a mosquito poison.A close friend of Carnarvon, George Gould came to Egypt to pay their last respects to the late.Just a few hours after visiting the tomb of his toppled fever.Then he died and archaeologist, who was present at the opening of the tomb.And the radiologist to determine the age of the tomb, he began to complain of excessive fatigue and went to England.There he died.
Moreover, for six years 26 people have died from those who were present at the opening of the tomb.But the curse continues to operate.In ten years, survived two.Somehow, Howard Carter's curse did not work, he lived to be 66 years old.
During this hands and feet caught scientists, skeptics, and very soon the grim legend of the curse of the Pharaohs has burst like a soap bubble.Epidemiologist and specialist in preventive medicine, Mark Nelson of the University of Melbourne followed Manash way of life of all involved in the expedition Carter people using the diaries of a scientist.According to the records of the British archaeologist, in expedition were 44 Europeans and Americans.Of them directly to the tomb visited 26 people, respectively, these people have been cursed.Nevertheless, the average life expectancy of those who took an active part in the excavations, or was in the vicinity of the tomb, was found to be 70 years.The period at the time respectable.Those who are absent at the time of opening of the sarcophagus, the longest-lived for 5 years.
How, then, to be the tomb of the pharaoh and his wife Peteti dissected in December 1993, in the same Egypt?Inscriptions on the sarcophagi warned: "Great Goddess Hathor twice punish anyone who defiles the place."At the head of the excavation suddenly suffered a heart attack that nearly cost him his life.Then an earthquake destroyed the house of his fellow archaeologist.The train, which transported the extracted relics derailed.
Ice Warrior
Helmut Simon from Nuremberg whole life went through the Alps and searched there a snowman.And found in September 1991, the dead body of an unknown Tyroleans.He vmerz in the edge of the glacier Similaun on the Austro-Italian border.On the corpse had fur clothing and woven leather straps lapotochki in a backpack had some supplies.Years he was 46 at the time of death, but the body of Oetzi was strong and had excellent teeth.
Scientists have determined that Oetzi fell in an unequal battle.The body found traces of blood even four people, but from the fatal blow with a spear in the back could not dodge a warrior.Found the body undertook to explore - first criminologists, then scientists.And for 14 years, died seven people had at least some relation to the mummy Tyroleans.According to the theory of the curse of Oetzi revenge for what his gut after 53 centuries after his death.Konrad Spindler, associate professor of the University of Innsbruck, who has studied Oetzi died recently - at the age of 66 years.In recent years, he suffered from severe multiple sclerosis, and began discord health after the first examination of the mummy.By the way, scientists have known about the "curse" and joked that he would be the next victim.
first victim was Oetzi, Rainer Henn, the forensic expert who examined the corpse was found on a glacier.He died in a car accident on the way to a scientific conference devoted to just ice man.The second was a police investigator who discovered and then close the case of the murder.He suffocated in the bath.Then, the conductor-climber was killed, remove the mummy from the glacier.It covered an avalanche in the mountains, the climbers suffered from a chain of only one.Journalist Rainer Holtz, who shot a film about the ice man, died suddenly of a brain tumor.
died in the mountains, and the one who found the mummy - Helmut Simon.They say he suffered from multiple personality disorder and considered part of Oetzi himself.One of the climbers who took part in the search for Simon in the mountains, became the sixth victim of the mummy.He died immediately after the funeral, the discoverer of Oetzi.Of a heart attack.Initially mummy Tyroleans studied in Switzerland, but since found her on the Italian territory, Oetzi was moved to the museum in Bolzano.It soon turned out that almost every visitor after the tour has flu.
Not for nervous
at the Egyptian Museum - the same parsley.In recent months, the Turin Museum of Ancient Egypt are often not only lovers of antiquity, but also doctors, firefighters.And even experts evil spirits.In one of the halls of the museum exhibited the sarcophagus of Pharaoh Kha, who ruled Egypt in 1400 BC.e.From there visitors cases of sudden fainting, hysteria, headaches.Once in January this year had to call the "fast" just three girls ekskursantkam, talking about the "curse of the pharaoh."There are cases of poor health visitors Egyptian departments and in other museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts Pushkin in Moscow.Most Antiquities feel particularly oppressive atmosphere in this room.Probably, the mental attitude influences.
And psychics claim that in the tombs of the Pharaohs acted spell - psychoenergetic clots by priests.They still guarded the tomb from intruders.Scientists do not believe the psychics and explain the "Curse of the Pharaohs," the action of bacteria.In 1999, German microbiologist Gotthard Kramer of the University of Leipzig has analyzed more than 40 mummified bodies and found that each of them is covered with a thin layer of mold.The naked eye can not see these organisms, and mostly they are harmless.But if the immune system is weakened, mold, inhaled, is very dangerous.
Put into place!
Thankfully, in recent years, the world began to realize that the theft of ancient tombs would be better to return.From documents to be adopted by the UN, that "all found in the land owned by the state or the owner of the land."But when archaeologists in the United States have tried to "privatize" the skeletons found in ancient tombs, Louisiana court ruled that the graves belong to the Indians biloski surviving members of the tribe.And then came a law on the return of exported rarities.Now all the state museums of the United States must return the remains of the indigenous peoples of their praprapravnukam.Wherever they are.Last year, the United States solemnly returned to Egypt the mummy of Pharaoh Ramses I.
And from private collections, too, no, no yes and sent to the museum some ancient skull or amulet.With the explanation that it is bad for health and business owner.
Recently, for example, a resident of South Africa asked to put in place had been stored in her house scarab of Tutankhamun's tomb.To get rid of the "curse of the pharaoh."In a letter to the Minister of Culture of Egypt, she gives a long list of misfortunes that occurred with the owners of the amulet.First owner, a British sailor who buys an amulet in Cairo, drowned, the victim of a shipwreck.His daughter died of leukemia at age 21.The widow decided to get rid of the curse and gave the scarab of the current owner, whose daughter also died of leukemia at the age of 21, and later her husband died suddenly.
Yes, the ratio of the dead have been brought up disregard.How common unmarked ditches in the territories of the Gulag as unburied soldiers left on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War!How many "black archeologists" Crimea search through the length and breadth, and how many now are operating in cemeteries vandals!
Think about why people are not afraid of any sin, no bacteria, no mysterious "energy clusters", trying to re-dig the grave, to saw the ancient corpses?To find ancient treasures?Get Rich?To become famous?Or maybe just the germ of a beat?
