INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb led to mysterious deaths?
Unclear. Reference sources describe the 'curse' as a popular speculation and note that no written curse was found in the tomb, but none directly examines whether excavators died mysteriously. The evidence only partially addresses the claim and leans against it.
