The cause of death of the discoverers of Tutankhamun's tomb has been established

Researchers have established the cause of the mysterious death of British scientists who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb a hundred years ago. For many years, there have been rumors that some kind of curse was placed on the archaeologists.

Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered after years of searching by the British researcher G. Carter. Only a few years have passed since this event, and the people involved have died, including Carter.

Now experts believe that the discoverers died due to a "cave disease" caused by Aspergillus fungi found in the tomb.

A similar fate awaited those who opened the grave of Lithuanian Prince K. Jagiellonchik, — scientists were killed by a lung infection.
