There is a story that tells of the curse of Tutankhmun. Some scholars laugh at the thought but some know the truth. George Herbert, Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter both felt the wrath of the boy king

How many secrets are hidden in your smile asked the Portugese sailor you asked back to dine
Only two you answer and neither will be told they are not there for your comfort they are part of my soul
They are part of my soul

And when you reach the shadows remember who came first there’s George Herbert and Howard
And both their lives were cursed
For you are merely particles transformed by time and space
When they unwrap your golden shroud will they still find a face
