<p>A tomb with a dire warning is not something new for horror movie fans. However, it turned out to be a reality in Israel as archaeologists found a tomb in an ancient cemetery with a warning written in blood red letters for anyone who tries to open it. The tomb was found in an ancient cemetery at the Beit She'arim. This was the first tomb found at the UNESCO World Heritage Site for 65 years. Excavations were happening at the site for almost a year, and this was the first major breakthrough for the archaeologists. The tomb had a warning written in red for the people trying to open it.</p>

<p>After translating the text, the researchers said that the warning read - “Yaakov Ha’Ger vows to curse anybody who would open this grave, so nobody will open it. 60 years old.”</p>

<p>While these warnings are mainly meant for grave robbers or people who try to disturb these places, the researchers said that it was most probably done to stop other people from reusing the tomb.</p>
