The tomb was no payout.
Lord Carnarvon. He was already rich - He married Almina, a Rothschild bastard with a giant dowry. He didn't need the Pharaoh’s money - he needed a hobby.
He spent a fortune digging holes in the sand.
They broke into the thing, 1922 - Lord didn't see a dime of profit.
He saw a mosquito.
He signed a deal with The Times for £5,000 - but that was just pocket change.
He died of blood poisoning. In Cairo.
This was before the real looting began.
His widow Lady Almina went for the money - fought the Egyptians for a share - She didn't get the treasure. She got a check for £36,000 to cover the bills - It was a refund, there was no jackpot.
His private stash was sold to New York later - but the tomb itself was a money pit.
