16 - Curse of the Pharaohs

WARNING: This episode can and probably will curse you! This week Dave talk's about the curse of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Since Howard Carter ended King Tut's 3000 year slumber in the 1920s, many people associated with the tomb's discovery have died under very suspicious circumstances. Shootings, poisonings, smotherings and mosquito bites gone bad... Tut is pissed and he's going to make the world pay.
