NARRATOR: Egypt, Valley of the Kings. November 4th,1922.
A young boy working for a British excavation team
led by Howard Carter.
He's riding his donkey home one night
when suddenly, the animal's hoofs slips into a hole
below the sand.
Thinking he may have stumbled upon the entrance to a tomb,
he rushes home and alerts Carter.
[suspenseful music]
RAMY ROMANY: When Howard Carter came in,
they dumped feverishly all the way through the tomb, 72 steps
till they reached the sealed door of the tomb, which
was right here.
He instantly made a hole into the wall before destroying it.
And Howard Carter peeked in and said,
and I quote, "I see wonderful things," which was very true.
Right inside King Tut's tomb, there were wonderful things.
This tomb was packed with gold and treasures.
NARRATOR: Incredibly, Howard Carter and his team
had unearthed the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
To this day, it is considered the best
preserved and most intact tomb ever found
in the Valley of the Kings.
Although the excavation team achieved
instant worldwide fame for their discovery,
their triumph was short-lived.
During the opening of the tomb of King Tut,
all the workers were very wary, the Egyptians.
It is known that ancient Egyptian tombs
have the curse of the pharaohs.
Whoever enters the tomb first will die.
[suspenseful music]
NARRATOR: While most Westerners involved
did not take the ancient stories of a curse seriously,
the opening of King Tut's tomb was almost immediately
followed by numerous tragedies, some with eerie connections
to the alleged curse.
[suspenseful music]
Soon after the opening of the tomb,
a messenger went to the archaeologist
houses was Howard Carter.
He found Carter's beloved canary in the mouth
of a cobra, which was the symbolic snake of the pharaoh.
Later, we learned that Lord Carnarvon himself was
a bit on the cheek by a mosquito in the very same place
that King Tut, it turned out, was also wounded.
He died within weeks of a blood-borne disease
very mysteriously.
Howard Fields, another archaeologist,
who came to the tomb, had his home burned down and flooded.
And people began to wonder if, in fact, this
was the curse of Tutankhamun.
[suspenseful music]
NARRATOR: No fewer than seven deaths
have been associated with the opening of the tomb,
the same number of lives that Oak Island must claim,
according to the legend.
Could there really have been a curse
protecting King Tut's tomb?
And if so, what was behind it?
Curses were a tool of heka, the magical technology
that the Egyptians used that they said was a gift
of their extraterrestrial gods.
This suggests that the curse of the pharaohs
is an extraterrestrial force, or perhaps, even technology
that the ancient Egyptians were utilizing
to protect these tombs.
[suspenseful music]
NARRATOR: Is it possible that some type
of extraterrestrial technology was activated with the opening
of King Tut's Tomb?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and its further evidence point to the so-called magic bricks
found at the tomb.
[suspenseful music]
In the tomb of Tutankhamun was four bricks
in the four cardinal positions with some magical spells
from chapter 151 of the "Book of the Dead."
Spells of protecting the dead.
They believed in magic.
They believed in the power of the words.
The word for them makes power, makes protection.
[suspenseful music]
When we go over to the Tibetan arena,
we see these prayer wheels.
And this is a very interesting thing, because the priest
would actually go by.
And they would roll these cylindrical drums
with their hands.
And they believe that the simple rolling of the drum
would actually impress the words upon the space around them.
They believed that space was alive and intelligent.
So this suggest the possibility that certain words
do, in a sense, become imbued with a force.
That force may be something that certain types
of extraterrestrial or extradimensional beings
can actually access.
Is it possible that the Egyptians were working
with extraterrestrials who would, in fact, generate
these types of seemingly magical phenomena in the event
that people tried to transgress into these locations?
