cursed tomb
Hexed burial chamber
A cursed tomb is a burial site believed to bring misfortune or death to those who disturb it.
The phrase evokes ancient Egyptian archaeology and the legend of King Tut's tomb, where early excavators died under mysterious circumstances.
Horror fiction and video games frequently feature cursed tombs as settings where disturbing the dead triggers supernatural punishment: The adventurers ignored the warnings and entered the cursed tomb.
