The curse of the Pharaoh is cast upon any person who disturbs the mummy. The mummy does not differentiate between thieves or archaeologists, and its curse will cause bad luck, illness or death. The Egyptians observed a complex series of rituals when burying dead pharaohs, designed to aid the dead king’s transition into the afterlife. Mummification and burial were deeply significant for the Egyptians because they believed that the survival of a person’s remains was vital in their soul’s continuation into the afterlife. Pharaohs were entombed with all the objects Egyptians believed they would need in the afterlife, like supplies of food and oil, clothes and even furniture. Some even included sandals, jewellery, robes and bows and arrows. Enter the maze of confusing tunnels and get sucked into the depth of a tomb. Unravel the mystery inside The Tomb Egyptian Adventure by solving puzzles and be careful not to wake the mummy up!

Dr. Miles Cavendish announced the discovery of an ancient Egyptian Tomb on the morning of May 11, 2011 at Pigeon Forge. He stated in the newspaper that they have not yet uncovered the secret to opening the Tomb’s entrance door. According to local lore, the Tomb is the burial place of an Egyptian Pharaoh. Dr. Joe Phillips also an archaeologist, led an expedition almost a decade ago in search of the tomb but then disappeared. It is said that he could not escape the tomb and was trapped forever. It is well known that there are many hidden tunnels, booby traps and doors in this tomb to prevent scavengers from raiding the tomb but to disappear was quite outrageous. Dr. Cavendish expects diabolical challenges at every turn inside the tomb but welcomes you to share his experience and face your worst enemy, fear, as you try to find an escape route to come out alive!
