| 'Cursed' |
A curse is any specified
wish that some form of misfortune will befall or attach itself to someone or
something…it could be one or more persons, a place, or an object…in particular,
a "curse" may refer to such a wish or pronouncement that is made
effective by a spiritual force or supernatural power…these can include such
things as a spirit, a natural force of some kind, the will of a god or gods…or
supernatural powers…those that are created by magic or perhaps witchcraft…there
are many different types of curses…political curses that have struck those in
the presidency…or they are curses on specific objects such as The Hope
Diamond…thanks to Hollywood, there is a popular belief that have curses most
popularly being associated with the violation of ancient tombs…especially in
Egypt, where ‘The Curse of The Pharaohs has gained great notoriety…those who
have violated the sacredness of mummified corpses or the treasures of the tombs
themselves… I have written previously about the "Curse of the Pharaohs"
and it has haunted many of the archeologists who took part in the excavation of
the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun…this curse and others like it, came forth from
the grave on anyone who paid no heed to the tenants as directed by ancient
Egyptian priests…and went on to defile the sacred tombs…some have said it was
merely coincidence or random misfortune that these people were struck down, but
others know
