A 5000 year old curse might be an interesting thing to deal with. In one way, it would be the same as a 10 year old, or 500 year old curse, but it also might be very specific and very out of context today, if you wanted to do an odd investigative game rather then a straight up horror game.
You could also take advantage of the fact that it was long enough ago that it turns out that both the killers and the murdered are now the ancestors of much of the local population, rendering the lines as to who the curse should hit really murky.
