Tomorrow will mark the 84th Anniversary of the opening of King Tut's tomb. The Egyptian king was 9 years old when he took over the most advanced civilization of the time and was 19 when he passed on. There are many theories surrounding Tut's death, most of them conspiracy and murder. Recent exploration and examination of Tut's life though suggest that he died of infection possibly from a broken leg. Whatever the case the curse of the golden king stuck with those who first opened the tomb in 1923 leaving both explorers dead by the end of the excavation Lord Carnarven and Howard Carter.
