EGYPTIAN STATUE MOVES ON ITS OWN

 

 UK MUSEUM SCIENTISTS BAFFLED - IS THIS THE PHARAOHS CURSE? CAMERAS SHOW ACTUAL MOVEMENT OF STATUE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY FOUND WITH MUMMY.


UK DAILY MAIL reports:  It sounds like something from the script of a Hollywood action adventure. But the 'mystery of the moving mummy' - which has seen an Egyptian statue mysteriously start to spin round in a display case - has spooked museum bosses.
 
The 10-inch tall relic, an offering to the Egyptian God Osiris, was found in a mummy's tomb and has been at the Manchester Museum for 80 years. But in recent weeks, curators have been left scratching their heads after they kept finding it facing the wrong way.
 
They now believe there could be a 'spiritual explanation' for the turning statue. It is believed that there is a curse of the pharaohs which strikes anyone who dares to take relics from a pyramid tomb.  Experts decided to monitor the room on time-lapse video and were astonished to see it clearly show the statuette spinning 180 degrees - with nobody going near it.
