Tourists in Egypt felt the rumble! Allegedly, King Tutankhamun's tomb is to blame.

Cairo, Egypt

Russian travelers who were enjoying the popular tourist destination of Sharm el-Sheikh were in for a shocking surprise when the ground began to shake beneath their feet. The earthquake that struck the Egyptian city was strong enough to wake people from their sleep and send panic through the streets.

While no one was seriously injured, the earthquake was a reminder of the power of nature and the fragility of human life. It was also a reminder of some local folklore, specifically the curse of King Tutankhamun.

King Tutankhamun's curse

King Tutankhamun was a relatively minor pharaoh who ruled Egypt for just nine years. However, his tomb was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter and has since become one of the most famous archaeological discoveries in history.

According to legend, the tomb of King Tutankhamun has a curse that befalls anyone who disturbs it. The legend has been used as a plot device in many movies and TV shows. However, there is no evidence to support the claim that the curse is real.

Despite the lack of evidence, many people believe that the earthquake that struck Sharm el-Sheikh was caused by the curse of King Tutankhamun. They argue that the earthquake was a warning to those who would dare to disturb the tomb of the pharaoh.

Of course, there is no way to know for sure whether the earthquake was caused by the curse of King Tutankhamun. However, the legend of the curse is sure to continue to fascinate people for many years to come.
