About Howard Carter

Trivia
Since he did not instantly suffer from any disease or death after opening the tomb of Tutankhamun, the belief in the "curse of the pharaoh" started to dwindle.
Over the years, he has been portrayed in several films, including the 1992 film Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal and its 1995 sequel, where he was portrayed by actor Pip Torrens.
