For the record, the average age on death of the 25 'westerners' present at the opening of the tomb was 70 years old.

Yep. And they were all 69.999 years old when they have opened the tomb.

Once again, opinion disguised as science. First they're building a wall, now scientists are starting to publically turn their backs.

I heard that a fongus was responsible of the "curse".

Correct Salem, these ancient fungal spores are called Aspergillus genus. The deaths and sickness's were caused by inhalation of these spores. These spores are very toxic and if untreated, result in death.
