Many of us, including archaeologists themselves, believe that on tombs were lethally cursed to scare away or punish the thieves. And it’s not about simple words, but about real and very effective magic. Of course, scientists are trying to find a rational explanation for this (for example, they say toxic mold or ancient infections in tombs) however authoritative Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass only laughs at myopia orthodox science.
Hawass, 71, is not just an experienced digger, but also a former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities. An elderly man believes firmly that he was affected by the curse of the mummies he discovered and by his colleagues in 1999 on the territory of the Baharias oasis in the Sahara.

At first, Hawass just saw their faces, then the bodies suddenly came to life and reached for his throat, trying to strangle. The archaeologist considered that the children wish to reunite with their parents, and ordered to put in the museum children’s mummies next to their mummies probable father and mother. When this was done, archaeologist’s nightmares have stopped.
