Tutankhamun’s
Revenge:
The Curse that Would Not Die
Over 3,000 years ago, the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen
reigned for only ten years. His life and death shrouded in mystery, the
17-year-old boy-king went to his eternal rest in a hastily completed tomb
meant for another in the Valley of the Kings. Obscured by the sands of
the desert, the memory of Tutankhamen was successfully buried until the
20th century, when archaeologists unearthed the pharaoh’s extraordinary
riches, his mummy, and, as legend holds, his curse of revenge on anyone
who would trespass on his tomb.
A
Conversation with Crime Writer
Patricia Cornwell on Jack the Ripper
On a trip to London in May 2001, crime writer Patricia
Cornwell met John Grieve, Chief Investigator at Scotland Yard and an expert
on Jack the Ripper. Their discussions of the infamous 19th-century murders
led her to produce her latest work, in which she argues that the Ripper
was famous British Impressionist painter Walter Sickert.
The
Monster of Boggy Creek
“It’s peaceful around Fouke... until the sun
goes down.” That line, taken from the 1973 drive-in classic The
Legend of Boggy Creek, set up the tale of a seven-foot-tall, long-haired,
ape-like creature said to haunt the dark, winding creek bottoms near Fouke,
AK.
