The Curse of the Mummy

Uncovering Tutankhamun's Tomb

By: Candace Fleming

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

During the reign of the New Kingdom of Egypt, the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun ruled and died tragically young. In order to send him on his way into the afterlife, his tomb was filled with every treasure he would need after death. And then, it was lost to time, buried in the sands of the Valley of the Kings. His tomb was also said to be cursed.

Centuries later, as Egypt-mania gripped Europe, two Brits - a rich earl with a habit for gambling and a disreputable, determined archeologist - worked for years to rediscover and open Tutankhamun's tomb. But once it was uncovered, would ancient powers take their revenge for disturbing and even looting the pharaoh's resting place? What else could explain the mysterious illnesses, accidents, and deaths that began once it was found?

Overall good narration

I thought the section where the narrator was listing the "curses" them said, "coincidence, or the curse?" over and over was sort of funny.

overall an interesting story but maybe one that would be better as a physical book rather than the audiobook version. great narrator though.
