How do you think of those strange deaths Please work in group of four, and talk about your opinion about those strange deaths. What do you think caused the strange deaths And please tell why Here are some hints for you. If you think it’s the mummy’s curse, because at the moment of Carnarvon’s death, the lights went out in Cairo. If you think it’s just coincidence, you can give the reason that Carter didn’t die after the opening of the tomb. Other people’s deaths were just coincidence. If you think virus caused the deaths, how did you explain other tombs, because there also is virus in other tombs, but people who entered those tombs didn’t die.
