b"Almost thirty years before the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun and the fabled \\u201ccurse of the pharaohs\\u201d was unleashed upon an excitable population, rumours and stories of another curse, attached to an ancient object, had been weaving its way into myth and legend as a complicated tangle of truth and fabrication. The \\u201cAnger of the Priestess of Amen-Ra\\u201d has links to several high profile deaths and even the sinking of the Titanic. It was potentially responsible for thousands of deaths in the few decades since its discovery, far overshadowing the famous curse of the boy king in scope, even if it would never quite match it in fame.
