The Mysterious Tomb:
What’s the story of this tomb?
In 1863, Khedive Ismail had a dream of building a huge royal palace. He chose that area and started removing swamps and tombs. While removing the tombs, the workers found a wonderful essence coming out of a tomb so they kept it to be the last tomb to be removed. When it’s time to remove this tomb, the labor agreed to dig into it. When anyone tries to dig he get either paralysis or have an injury or a big accident. The head of labour found out that all the workers are striking against removing this tomb for fear of its curse. The head of labour reported that incident to Khedive Ismail who decided to rebuild the tomb and construct a compartment with a wonderful design and painted it with gold and exotic colors.
You can now visit this tomb in Abdeen Palace along with visiting its wonderful museum that contains a lot of artifacts and priceless items.
