November the 4th, 1922,
:22:03
a waterboy trying to
:22:05
secure his jug hit
an unusual rock.
:23:01
Carter sent a telegram
:23:03
to Lord Canarvon in England
:23:04
to come quickly and went to
:23:06
Cairo to meet his benefactor.
:23:09
But while he was away something
:23:11
very strange happened.
:23:28
The golden bird that had
:23:30
brought them luck
was killed by a cobra.
:23:39
Well, now the cobra was
:23:40
the protector of the pharaon.
:23:42
And the canary represents those
:23:44
who had entered the tomb.
:23:46
So the cobra ate the canary
:23:47
because of the mummy's curse.
:23:49
More likely he ate it
:23:50
because he was hungry.
:23:52
I like the curse idea better!
:23:54
Well, certainly the workmen
:23:56
believed it was the curse.
:23:57
The death of the golden bird
:23:59
was a bad omen to them.
