The Gen X Couple by Robin and Chris Ruehrwein

Episode notes

What if uncovering history came with a deadly price?

In this episode, Robin and Chris dive deep into the legend of King Tutankhamun’s curse, tracing the story from the discovery of his nearly intact tomb in 1922 to the global frenzy that peaked by 1929. This is not a simple tale of mummies and magic. It is a story of grief, fear, media sensationalism, and human psychology that transformed a series of coincidences into one of the most enduring curses in modern culture.
