Now a new report claims that this curse may actually be a type mushroom It is called “Aspergillus flavus” (Aspergillus flavus), which is usually found in tombs and can cause severe health problems or even death by infecting human lungs.
The report cites a 1973 incident in Poland in which 10 of 12 visitors to the mausoleum of King Casimir IV died from exposure to Aspergillus flavus. Since then, experts are investigating the possible dangers of this fungus in tombs and other ancient burial places.
This has caused experts to express concern about the possibility of being exposed to this fungus when visiting embalmed remains. This year, Guanajuato mummies from 1833 were put on display in Mexico City, and some experts were concerned that the mummies were not properly sealed.
Other dangers of mummies and their burial places
While the idea of a “mummy curse” may seem far-fetched, there are other very real dangers associated with mummies and ancient burial sites. For example, many tombs and other burial sites harbor dangerous molds and bacteria that can cause serious illness or even death. For this reason, researchers and experts are very careful in studying ancient works and remains.
In addition, many ancient people used toxic materials such as lead and mercury in burials, which exposure to these toxic materials can have serious consequences for human health. According to some researchers, exposure to these substances may have played a role in the downfall of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
