I feel like 90% of "ancient curses" are probably adequately explained by the fact that the self-proclaimed adventurers who ostensibly fell victim to them were, as a class, a bunch of dipshits who engaged in frequent international travel in an era before antibiotics and vaccines. Like, the list of novel pathogens these guys were risking exposure to on a regular basis was effectively "all of them". That's gotta leave a mark.

Behold the rufous and black and rufous elephant shrew (Rhynchocyon petersi)! Despite its diminutive size, this critter is more closely related to elephants than it is to shrews. It’s also distantly related to manatees, dugongs, and hyraxes. It uses its long snout to scoop up worms, ants, termites, roots, berries, and shoots to eat. To move around its territory, this fast-moving mammal creates networks of foraging trails, which also serve as escape routes from predators.
