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?
