Mysterious Egyptian statues themselves move

It can be said that the mysterious, creepy phenomena related to the curse of Egypt do not only appear on film, but even in real life. The latest video that captures the image of an Egyptian statue moving in a glass case at the museum in England will make anyone shudder.

Most scientists who have discovered Egyptian tombs in the 20s believe in encountering curse.

The 25cm tall statue was in the Manchester Museum for 80 years. It was found in a mummy grave and a gift to the Egyptian god Osiris.

In recent weeks, the museum staff had to wonder a lot after they found the statue to be 180 degrees back from the original. And they began to believe that all from the curse of the pharaohs attacked anyone who violently took away the objects of the tombs.

Experts decided to re-record the display cabinet and they were surprised when the image was so clear and true that the statue slowly turned 180 degrees without any impact. The video uses a time-laps technique (recording an image of a certain object or scene over a long period of time) to show that clearly.

The original position of the statue.

The beginning of the change.

The next morning the statue "turned" to the other direction.

And at the end of the day the statue has "turned" back to the audience.

This statue of a male named Neb-Senu seems to be immobile at night but in the daytime it has extremely small movements. Scientists are trying to find answers to this phenomenon.

Campbell Price, an Egyptologist and manager in the Manchester Museum, said: 'One day I realized that the statue was back. I found it strange because I was the only one holding the key to the display case. I turned it around and the next day it moved backwards. '

Campbell Price and the statue.

Price explained: 'Small statues are things that appear in tombs with mummies. The sender will place the statue under the mummy's feet, the statue has hieroglyphics 'bread, wine and beef'. Ancient Egyptians believed that if the mummy was destroyed, the statues would be a new residence for the soul '. Price may conclude: 'Maybe that's the reason why it's moving.'

Some other experts hypothesized that vibrations from the visitors' footsteps made the small statue move but Price was quite convincing about that assumption. Price said: 'There are two surfaces, one is the solid part of the statue's foot, one is the glass surface of the display cabinet. If they produce vibrations that make the statue move, why didn't we detect this phenomenon before? And why did the statue rotate such a perfect circle? '

And Price himself is calling on the public to observe and find a solution to the mystery.
