:35:36
These great monuments
keep us humble, too.
:35:40
After all, they managed to survive
:35:42
for nearly 5,000 years.
:35:45
How long has our modern
:35:47
civilization been around in comparison?
:35:50
Not very long.
:35:53
Not very long.
:35:56
Now as to the matter
of the-the curse:
:36:00
Lord Canarvon died from
an infected mosquito bite
:36:04
five months after King
Tut's tomb was opened.
:36:07
So it is true, after all.
:36:10
Well, Lord Canarvon did
die an untimely death,
:36:14
but Howard Carter lived to be 65
:36:18
and the little waterboy
:36:19
who was one of the first into
:36:21
the tomb because of his size
:36:24
Iived to a ripe old age,
:36:26
as did most of the workers.
:36:29
Clearly,
there was no curse of death.
:36:34
But beyond all of that,
a curse, you see,
:36:39
flies in the face of
everything the Egyptians believed in.
:36:43
You mean life.
:36:46
Yes, life.
