I agree with you, Osiris II. I don't believe there are curses either. I think the reason some folks believe in these curses is because of their fear of the unknown.

Egyptian curses may be esoteric, but they certainly formed a large and real part of the Egyptian funerary process. The tomb of the Elders of Meni at Giza, cut out in the 6th Dynasty is inscribed with a particularly famous curse. It reads:

"May the crocodile be against him in the water, and may the snake be against him on land, any man who would do harm against this [place]. Never have I trespassed against him - It is God who will judge him."

Thanks for the tidbit Psusennes I

I guess the mysterious when coupled with the eerie always fascinates; as is the case here

Yes, even I have heard that mummies are sign of curse. It is also a sign of misfortune. aYes, even I have heard that mummies are sign of curse. It is also a sign of misfortune.
