"Inevitable death": the best-known "damned" things

"The one who owns this brilliant, will be the owner of the whole world, but also learns all its troubles. Only God or the woman can own it with impunity". On a legend, the prophecy on a brilliant Kokhinur so sounds. The jewel is considered damned. Owners of a brilliant – the Indian, Afghan, Iranian governors – betrayed, put in prison, tortured and executed in the awful ways. Eventually Kokhinur appeared in Queen Elizabeth's crown. Governors became more than once owners of things which are pursued by ill fame. Why there was a legend, what sounds of pipes of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun cause wars? .
