i can't believe people are still pushing the story about the curse. Not very nice from BBC to promote it,too.

The rhetorical question about does it contain a curse, and the quote from Waziri, are clearly not serious. Nobody here is pushing or promoting that as a theory - that's an ludicrously uncharitable reading of this article.

Potential exposure to some dangerous bacteria growing inside the confined space seems like a decent hypothesis, though. Especially when the inside released a foul odor upon being opened.

It's a hot tub full of mummy juice, so it's always going to be nasty.

Getting upset about this seems equally ridiculous tbh. It's just some lighthearted fun.

A cursed tomb can be a another civilization's deep geological repository [1] of nuclear/toxic waste.

Not an ancient Egyptian tomb, no.

Or so we were led to believe. There's clearly a single possible explanation to all this.

That would not be far fetched, actually. Their technology clearly rivals anything we have today. 5 of the pyramids contain graphite waveguides that produce small amounts of focused nuclear radiation. The base contain piezoelectric water transducers. The Nile moved too far away to make them active however so they are quite safe for humans.

I would let people know about a curse. If I were a scientist, I would want to study the site and determine if any containers that have a functional virus, mold or other hazards to human and animal life.

Perhaps I spent too much time watching Star Trek.
