The Curse of the Pharaohs was a protacted incident in and around Thebes, Egypt in the year 38 BCE.
The result of manipulations of an ancient relic in the care of Isidora, the God's Wife of Amun at the Temple of Karnak, the Curse saw the disembodied spirits of several past pharaohs–Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamun, and Ramesses II–seemingly returned to the world of the living to exact vengeance upon the grave robbers and desecrators who had plagued the region for generations.
The Curse was eventually lifted by the Hidden One, Bayek of Siwa, who after investigating the soruce of it, retreived the relic and assassinated Isidora. The relic itself was then hidden away.
