What is this crime dinner about?

Egypt, 1922. It should be a world sensation: the famous Egyptologist Sir Howard Carlton opens a previously unknown pharaoh grave. There have come to illustrious guests. But when Carlton enters the burial chamber, he sinks to the ground seconds later. His last words: "The curse of the pharaoh!". It can quickly become a smell that the night before Carlton's death of the jacklapy dead god Anubi crept around his tent.

But was it really the curse that gave the researcher away?
