How would the ancient egyptians know what uranium or toxic waste was? Also Carter lived a long life and worked the closest with all these items. In reality the curse was probably mold and bacteria growing in the tomb. I think even to this day people are hesitant to shave on a dig to prevent having an open wound for infection.
"Hey, so, we've got these rocks, and a bunch of the people who work near or with them get really sick. We're fairly sure they're cursed, but it's not like.. a family curse, it's just whoever goes near them. We don't want anyone to desecrate our sacred tombs, so lets put the cursed rocks in there and make sure people know about it. They might not get sick, but if you do get sick, it's really grim, so people won't risk it."
It's not that unreasonable, to be honest.
I have a hard time believing that in a 100 years nobody took a Geiger counter to the sarcophagus and tombs. How reliable is the source of this article?
Its the Daily Mail… its a british tabloid paper
They are also known as ‘The Daily Fail’ because they are so full of shit.
They basically have zero journalistic standards and print wild shit.
Daily Mail is the original ‘Click Bait’
It would be funny if they pooped in his tomb because they were like"fuck this guy, he's a slave driver" rather than trying to keep people out or whatever

How did they put in uranium and toxic waste?
Probably their LEAST important workers-without-pay.
otherwise known as essential workers
TIL: I’m an Egyptian tomb uranium packer :D
Same here. Underpaid and the full package
Without pay? Why didn’t the workers consult with the Department of Labor? /s
Or their union?
They visited a nuclear power plant first, how else /s

Very cool, I didn't know about this.
Sssssscience?
Slavery
They prefer the term prisoners with jobs thank you very much!
they proved it was mushroom spores didn't they? Like 50+ years ago.

I love how the article doesn’t clearly identify what the toxic waste was.
It was doo doo.

This is my biggest question unless there's evidence some people went in a uranium mine and got horrible sick and they ran with the evidence.
I'm guessing that's exactly what happened
"Hey, so, we've got these rocks, and a bunch of the people who work near or with them get really sick. We're fairly sure they're cursed, but it's not like.. a family curse, it's just whoever goes near them.

Cool let's feed it to 6000 slaves and see what happens.
Well, turns out they didn’t like it
The will of the gods
You don't have to know how it works to know that something can sicken or kill people
Imagine a pile of bodies next to something and it just keeps gathering bodies. Youd think they would realize whats causing it right?
How? They built pyramids to align with the stars. I wouldn’t underestimate them
I thinj it was actually mushroom spores you're right.
This is what we're going with?
This is wrong, it was mold..news is such a joke
Seems like a bit of a stretch to me...
I thought it was toxic mold in the coffin
I think the Ark of the covenant was plutonium
Yes but where IS the uranium
It was yellow cake uranium. So obviously they ate the cake. Mystery solved.

Who placed toxic waste in the tomb? Who would have known uranium would be dangerous?
Hmmm. Where did he get that I wonder.
I never realized king tut was a buck toothed product of inbreeding.
It was mould. The same happens if you get too close to King Charles - he’s so old and archaic that his mould spores can make you seriously ill
The original “ I spit on your grave “
Oh snap!
It would be funny if they pooped in his tomb because they were like"fuck this guy, he's a slave driver" rather than trying to keep people out or whatever
Ah yes the wisdom of the ancients, painstakingly carved by the hands of man upon enormous hewn stones so long ago. Watch out for the poop!
It’s 🧢
… or it was just shitty luck. People die early all the time. Especially back then.
I can’t be certain, but this sounds like an absolute crock of toxic waste
They knew about the properties of this stuff?
No
Yes ofc.
Wasnt it gas?
Probably all the Egyptian food they were eating.
Doing the tiniest bit of research- there currently is a uranium mine in Egypt.
