Is The Curse Of The Pharaohs Real- We Explain

The curse of the pharaohs is a long-held belief that archaeologists and others who come into contact with Egyptian artifacts will be stricken with misfortune, caused by the spirits of pharaohs. The curse of the pharaohs originated after the death of Lord Carnarvon, who helped open the tomb of King Tutankhamun in 1922.

While you can debate whether they actually had any magical effect, the fact is that Egyptians did use curses, especially as security measures on their tombs. These curses were more likely to be present in the tombs of private citizens rather than royalty, possibly because royal tombs had better security. But royal curses are far from unheard of. Most of these curses took the form of threats toward anyone who might rob or otherwise desecrate the tomb.
An abridged example includes...
"As for anyone who will: do something evil against this my grave, seize a stone from this my tomb, remove any stone or any brick from this my tomb, enter this tomb in impurity [...] he will be judged regarding it by the great god. I will wring his neck like a goose and cause those who live upon earth to fear the spirits who are in the West. I will exterminate his survivors."
Yikes.
Curses are part of a larger body of magical texts known as execration rituals, which were meant to curse a person or object one found unpalatable, or to ward off harmful spirits.
