A recent study published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration challenges the supernatural narrative surrounding King Tutankhamun's tomb curse. Scientist Ross Fellowes proposes that elevated radiation levels, potentially from uranium and hazardous waste, may explain the mysterious deaths linked to the tomb's discovery. The study highlights a correlation between this radiation and the prevalence of blood, bone, and lymph cancers in ancient and contemporary Egyptian populations. Fellowes also suggests that cryptic warnings inscribed in the tombs may have been a precaution against the dangers of radiation, challenging long-held beliefs about the Pharaoh's curse.
