Opening an ancient tomb containing an Egyptian mummy, a scientist contracted a mysterious illness

Ramy Romany, an Egyptologist and filmmaker, shared on the podcast The Jordan Harbinger Show that he suffered from a mysterious illness.

It all started when he opened a tomb for the Discovery Channel show Mummies Unwrapped. Inside the ancient tomb was the mummy of a character believed to be from the Bible.

According to the program script, Ramy Romany went into the crypt that had been closed for many years. He was the one who opened the door and went in to check for snakes or traps. Ramy Romany did not believe in curses so he went straight down the stairs to the crypt. The crypt was very long and dusty.

Back in Cairo, he felt unwell. Ramy Romany had a high fever, his temperature hovering around 42 degrees Celsius, and he began coughing up blood. Romany also had hallucinations and was critically ill. Doctors prescribed him high doses of antibiotics.

His health is much better now.

According to Ramy Romany, the ancient tomb above has not been opened for 600 years. Doctors suspect that the cause of Ramy Romany's illness could be snakes, bats or dust inside the tomb.

The Romany Duke believed he was under the "curse" of the Pharaoh. He said he might have contracted a fungal infection - a common disease among people who had entered ancient tombs.

In November 1922, British archaeologists made history when they discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut for short) in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

Then, George Carnarvon, one of the archaeological team members, died suddenly of unknown causes in 1923. A few months later, Carnavon's brother, Aubrey Herbert, also died for the same reason.

Even those who did not enter the tomb met with terrible misfortune. It is believed that he was infected with the fungus Aspergillus when he opened the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
