"Howard Carter" was employed to "Lord Carnarvon", who is eager in excavations and archaeological findings.
With continuous interruption of world war 1, "Lord Carnarvon" was dissatisfied and wanted to discover something significant.
As a result "Howard Carter" was assigned with his crew to dig in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

In November 1922, a young water boy in the excavations site, accidentally stumbled on a stone that turned out.
When the stone dug out Carter found a doorway, a doorway stamped with indistinct cartouches.

Carter immidiately send a telegram to Carnarvon about his finding. Carnarvon arrived the Valley of the Kings immediately with his daughter to witness the historical event.
On 26th November 1922 with the presence of Carnarvon, His daughter, crew members including news reporters and photographers, Carter made a "tiny breach in the top left-hand corner" of the doorway.
Carter, Carnarvon and everybody else were fascinated with the finding of Tutankhamun's burial chamber with the treasure of over 5,000 artifacts made out of gold and ebony.

But then the most terrifying, eerie story started.

Tutankhamun took the throne at eight or nine years of age succeeding his grandfather-in-law, Ay.
Tutankhamun restored the Ancient Egyptian religion after its dissolution by his father.
and he moved his father's remains to the Valley of the Kings as well as moving the capitol from Akhetaten to Thebes.
He was physically disabled with a deformity of his left foot along with bone necrosis that required the use of a cane, also he had other health issues including scoliosis and had contracted several strains of malaria.
Young king Tutankhamun died in 1325 BC at the age of 18 or 19.
There are no surviving records of the circumstances of Tutankhamun's death. it has been the subject of considerable debate and major studies.
