King Tut's "Dirty Bomb" Revenge ??? High Radiation in Royal Crypt

A scientist claims to have cracked the cause of the 'Pharaoh's
curse' that was believed to have killed more than 20 people
who opened King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922.

Ancient Egyptian text threatens 'death by a disease that no
doctor can diagnose' to anyone who disturbs royal mummified
remains - but Ross Fellowes has suggested there was a biological
reason behind the deaths.

The study determined the cause was radiation poisoning from
natural elements containing uranium and toxic waste that
was deliberately put inside the sealed vault.

Exposure to substances could have led to certain cancers,
like the one that took the life of archaeologist Howard
Carter - the first person to walk inside Tut's tomb more
than 100 years ago.

The theory effectively proves that the tomb was indeed
'cursed' - although in a deliberate, biological way

. . .

   The article suggests the Egyptians WERE wise about
   radioactive minerals - probably because of long
   mining operations in the region. They would have
   noticed mines where the workers/masters dropped
   dead WAY earlier than usual. They wouldn't have
   understood radioactivity per-se, only that
   something was "cursed" about the stone in the mines.

   In a sealed, confined, crypt - the uranium-bearing
   minerals would have produced a thick cloud of
   radon gas.
