Almost a hundred years since the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt's Valley of Kings was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter, it remains one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time. But our fascination with the 'Boy King' has always been tinged with fear and danger; the notion of a 'curse' - the vengeance of a long dead Pharaoh - still persists. But exactly who started these rumors and why, and what truth could there possibly be that some of those involved in the excavation died at the command of a long dead Egyptian King? Using archive and stills, as well as interviews with Egyptologists, cultural historians and writers, The Curse of King Tut pieces together the extraordinary story of Carter's discovery, and explores the chilling history of the world's most famous curse.
