Unlike many other Pharaohs Tuts tomb was underground not in a Pyramid. This was because the people of Thebes, kidnapped King Kufu from the Great Pyramid of Giza and he was afraid the same could happen to him. The people who knew were his tomb was didn’t rob it because of the curse. The curse was that if you enter the tomb you will die within the first few steps. home
