1 Non-fiction: Ancient Egypt The Legend of the Pharaoh s Curse Ancient Egypt The Legend of the Pharaoh s Curse It s An empty house sits on the banks of the Nile River in Egypt. A canary chirps in its cage. All of a sudden, the chirping stops. The neighbors are worried. They run next door to find the bird lying on the bottom of its cage. The bird is dead. A cobra slithers 1 out of the bird s cage. The house and the bird belonged to a man named Howard Carter. Carter had just discovered the tomb of King Tut. King Tut was one of the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Some people thought the canary s death was the result of an ancient curse 2. They claimed the pharaoh put the curse on anyone who entered his tomb. They believed this because cobras were sacred 3 to pharaohs. They protected and defended these ancient Egyptian kings. The story gets worse, though. The canary would not be the only one to die. Others who helped Carter find the tomb also died. Legend has it that when one of them died, all the lights in Cairo mysteriously went out at the moment of his death. Carter himself, however, lived 17 more years. He died at the age of slithers: to slide or move like a snake 2 curse: a magic spell that causes harm or evil 3 sacred: holy 1
