The golden head of King Tut’s death mask, overlaying a wallpaper of purple cobras, skeletons and stone make for a interesting selection for fans of Egyptian history.  When King Tut’s tomb was discovered and uncovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, rumors of a curse began to circulate.  After nearly 100 years, who knows how the rumors got started.  But it is clear that bad luck certainly did fall to those who were associated with this tomb.  Except for Carter, himself.  He escaped accident and death.  Actual photos help to tell this interesting tale.  Kids will certainly enjoy the thought of an actual curse.  However, I wish the book would go into a little more detail.  Such as where did the artifacts uncovered by Carter go?  I know for a fact that three statues from this tomb ended up at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California.  I wonder who else purchased some of these cursed objects before Egypt put the stop to all the looting of their history.  And did the curse follow the objects…….hmmmm, sounds like another book to me.
