"Curse of the Pharaohs" has come from the past .. Visiting the tomb of Tutankhamun is more comfortable

Archaeologists restored a new life to King Tutankhamun's mythical burial chamber. The body of the stuffed pharaoh was placed in its original place some 3,000 years ago and the golden coffin of King Tutankhamun was placed in the burial chamber.

It took ten years to restore the tomb of King Tutankhamun, and experts from the Getty Conservation Institute and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities revealed the results of their work, which first appeared on Wednesday after being reopened to the public.

The pictures show the stunning restoration of the lavishly decorated room with intricate drawings and designs, and the restoration work was carried out to ensure that the next generations of humanity would enjoy it.

The tomb of Tutankhamun was not opened since 1323 BC until the British archaeologist Howard Carter opened it in 1922 in Luxor, in the Valley of the Kings, and found a large collection of artifacts, numbering about five thousand. The room, which contains his tomb, The world of the dead.

The Curse of the Pharaohs
The myth of the Pharaohs' curse began at the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. The first thing that drew attention was a phrase engraved on the tomb saying, "Death will strike with its high wings all those who disturb the king." Her discovery was followed by a series of strange incidents that began with the death of many workers searching the cemetery. The death of Lord Carnarvon, who financed the excavation only six weeks after the opening of the tomb, provoked horrific rumors called "The Curse of Tutankhamun."

A strong sandstorm was said to have raged around the grave of Tutankhamun on the day it was opened, and a hawk was seen flying over the tomb. The falcon was known to be one of the holy symbols of the Pharaohs. Many writers and documentaries have discussed since the middle of the twentieth century the curse resulting from explanatory scientific reasons such as bacteria or radiation.

Mysterious spots
Over time, the Egyptian authorities began to worry about the condition of the frescoes; when the cemetery was opened, the wall paintings were found to be spotted with mysterious brown spots and were not found in any other grave.

The dark, mysterious patches on the walls of the cemetery have sparked controversy over the renewed "curse of Tutankhamun." In 2009, the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt contacted scientists at the Getty Conservation Institute to help preserve the frescoes.

Over the past 10 years, they have implemented a site conservation and management project, addressing a range of issues that threaten the survival of the tomb.

After intensive examination and rigorous scientific studies, the archaeological restorers left these dark dark spots in their place without melting them, because they fear that their removal may cause further damage. There have been concerns about the growth of these spots due to human intervention from visitors who bring bacteria and dust into the room.

The researchers analyzed historical images from the mid-1920s and found no new growth of spots. Analysis of nucleic and chemical acids for stains was caused by microbial growth on the walls of the burial chamber, but the microorganisms that formed the brown spots were dead and no longer a threat; they were not removed because they penetrated the coating layer.

The team of experts organized by the Getty Conservation Institute conducted the largest comprehensive study of the cemetery since its discovery, leading to a deeper understanding of the way it was built and the way it is decorated, and the development of new procedures to address the continuing threats to the cemetery.

The visit of the tomb of Tutankhamun (one of Egypt's most famous pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, whose name means "living image of the god Amun") is now more comfortable for people and less damaging to the wall paintings. The new platform, lighting and explanatory signs allow visitors to better see the cemetery and understand its historical and cultural significance, while new barriers limit physical access and touch the paintings.
