"Cursed be those that disturb the rest of Pharaoh." These chilling words supposedly formed the inscription that greeted Howard Carter and his team in 1922 when they uncovered the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, around 3,000 years after the monarch's demise. And a multitude of misfortunes affecting those connected to the expedition have only furthered the legend.

One hundred years on from the expedition, and in the light of evidence that Carter "undoubtedly" stole treasure from the tomb, read on to uncover the explorers' unbelievable stories, and decide for yourself if the curse is real or not. All dollar values in US dollars.
