Lord Carnarvon, the financial backer of Howard Carter's excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, died on April 5, 1923, shortly after the tomb's discovery. His death sparked widespread speculation and rumors about a "curse of the pharaohs," as he succumbed to an infected mosquito bite that led to pneumonia. This event fueled numerous stories and sensationalism in the media, leading to public fascination with the idea of ancient curses and the dangers of disturbing tombs. Despite the myths, many other individuals associated with the tomb's discovery lived long and healthy lives.
