Episode 11: The King Tut & Hope Diamond Curses

King Tut’s tomb and the Hope Diamond are tied to two of history’s most famous curse legends. CC and Kitty follow the real timeline behind both stories: Tutankhamun’s 1922 tomb discovery, Lord Carnarvon’s death, the French Blue, Marie Antoinette, the McLeans, and the Hope Diamond’s strange trip to the Smithsonian. Rumor, coincidence, media frenzy, and bad luck all make an appearance. Note: Can you catch where I had to go back and edit one of CC's mistakes?!
