Jaromir Malek is an Egyptologist. He has written a number of specialized books, articles, brief communications, and reviews, as well as contributions to encyclopaedias and similar works, and electronic publications specially prepared for the Internet. He has also published popular contributions and writes a web-based story for children about ancient Egypt. One of his duties at work is to look after Howard Carter's excavation records of the tomb of Tutankhamun, and so he hopes that the "curse of the Pharaoh" is but a myth without scientific foundations.
