Archaeologists solved mystery of Tutankhamun’s tomb: ‘More chance of defeating demons’

Professor Salima Ikram, Egyptologist at the American University of Cairo, told the documentary: “The ancient Egyptians were very big on insurance, so they had lots of safety nets in case one thing didn’t work, one spell didn’t work. There was a back up spell.

“If this got destroyed, there was another backup object, so you always had things to help you get where you wanted to.”

The documentary’s narrator added: “Egyptologists now believe this is why Tutankhamun took 5,000 objects to the afterlife.

“The more he took, the more chance he had of defeating the demons and overcoming the obstacles that lay ahead.”
