When it comes to places with the most damning legends in archaeology, many people will be the first to think of Egypt. The stunning pyramids built in the 2500 B.C. are full of mystical charms, as well as mummies preserved so far ...
In addition, archaeologists since the excavation of the pyramid after the unfortunate rumors, resulting in Egyptian-related urban legends seem to put on a curse of color. But today's small story is not about the long history of urban legends, but what happened in the British Museum last week. What is it that makes people wonder--The Curse of Egypt?
It's spinning! It's a curse! Campbell Price, the museum's exhibit member,
This modern Egyptian curse occurred in the British Museum of Manchester (Manchester Museum), a height of 10 feet (25 cm), has 4,000 years of history, "Egyptian death" Osiris statue, unexpectedly in the glass window, from the face of the people turned back to the people, Turned 180 degrees.
Exhibitor Campbell Price is the only one with the key to the showcase, after the statue's first turn, he thought it was an accident to turn the statue back, but after the second statue turned again, the perceived wrong exhibitor set up a camera, and by time-lapse photography he was found--no one had moved the statue, He's spinning!
Why did the statue turn?
In addition to the uproar of the "Curse of the word", the more scientific version is: Judging from the film, the statue is only moving during the day, so it is likely because of daytime visitors to the footsteps of the movement caused by the shaking of the statue turned. As for why only this black statue is moving, it is likely that the base of each statue is different, causing only this statue to move (and possibly because of weight). But there are also questions on the Web: How long has this statue been on display? If the news had only recently been heard, it would not have been because of the shaking of the floor.
Magic! The mysterious rotation of the ancient Egyptian Idol in the museum
