It said that an inscription at the entrance of the tomb reads the ‘Death will slay with his wings whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh’. Placing the curses on the tomb was a practice in those day and was meant to scare away tomb robbers from carting away everything that they placed in the tomb that was to ensure the pharaohs to live a better life in the spirit world. I always learn that the curses were just there to scare off the people and that they were myths. The curse was put there to scare off tomb robbers that only wanted the treasures that they buried with the Pharaohs. The people who dies after they enter the tomb wasn’t from the curse it was from natural causes.
1) Why was the Crippen case important? The case was so important because Dr. Crippen was accused of poising his wife and putting pieces of her remains in the basement cellar. The pathologist concluded that the tissue found had a scar that Cora had on her body. This was the first case of forensic science. 2) What was Crippen accused of?
This means that the gods had key roles in the fates of mankind, an idea which is hinted heavily upon during the course of the play. The title character of Aeschylus’ production, Agamemnon, faces various challenges which ultimately end rather poorly with Clytaemnestra organising his assassination. It could be argued that this was destined to happen from the very beginning of the sequence of events due to the family curse that circles his house. Atreus’s house was known for the curse that seemed to pass down through the generations of his sons which involved terrible things, ie murder happening between the children and the fathers. Atreus himself was involved in the tragedy in which he murdered his brother’s children and served them up as a dish to eat.
The scientists now have looked at King Tut corpse to try to figure out if he died because he was murdered or from an injury. Scientists have been looking at King Tut body for years and one of the mysteries is that General Horemheb murdered King Tut. Horemheb was the deputy to the king when he was a young child to help guide him as Pharaoh (Did Horemheb Kill King Tut, 2012). It is said that as King Tut became older Horemheb was scared that the king would not listen to him and make his own decision regarding politics and religion (Did Horemheb Kill King Tut, 2012). Once Egypt used to be polytheistic which is the worship of many Gods and changed to monotheism the worship of one God when King Tut was ruling.
The fractures in the skull and his death at an early age have fueled many theories about his death. The two main theories are Tutankhamen was murdered or he died of natural causes. The oldest of these theories is he was murdered by one of his subjects. This theory is due in large part to the fracture found on his skull. Bob Brier, an Egyptologist from Long Island University, presents the theory that Ay, one of Tutankhamen’s advisors, murdered Tutankhamen to usurp the throne (King Tut One.com, 2013).
eruption of Vesuvius is the large number of holes found in the volcanic deposits around Pompeii that represented corpses of people and animals that were buried by the hot ash. Giuseppi Fiorelli developed the use of plaster casts to recreate the forms of plants, animals and human bodies.' The process is now named after him: the Fiorelli process. He realised that where a corpse had been buried in ash, it had rotted over time and a cavity remained. Whenever an excavator discovered a cavity, plaster of Paris was poured in and left to harden.

It was reported in the medieval times that people were pronounced dead from the plague where heard yelling in a pile of bodies. Usually, these people were left as they were and buried in mass graves. In the story “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allan Poe he states “The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour.” (Poe, ln 4-6). These lines are about what the plague did to the body and how fast the disease acted upon its victims.

Appalled is one word that can describe my initial reaction towards the cruelty presented in the autobiography Night by Eliezer Wiesel, and the films, “Jakob the Liar” and “The Last Days”. Though I had some previous knowledge about the Holocaust, my eyes were pried open to the horrific and despicable events that human beings did to other human beings. I honestly ask, ‘How could people do that to others?’ People in concentration camps had to aide in the murder of others, often friends or family; people were not given food or water; and people were treated like ‘lab rats’ and were used for sick experiments. Through the two films and the novel, I was educated about the cruelty that some people possess, and how some humans can still find the strength
