Curse of the Mummy... Oooooh

Manchester Museum time-lapse 'shows Egyptian statue move'!

Bosses at Manchester Museum have been left puzzled by the mystery of an ancient Egyptian statuette which - a video has revealed - seems to turn itself around 180 degrees in its display case.

The 10-inch tall statue of Neb-Sanu, which dates back to 1800 BC, was found in a mummy’s tomb and has been at the Museum for eighty years.

And now a time-lapse video clearly shows it turning on its axis during the day, apparently of its own volition. During the night, however, it remains still.

Check out the vide here

That does lend weight to the arguement that its being caused by kinetic energy and vibrations as a result as thats when the museum is most active.
However the problem with that theory is why dont the other idols move? Or why is this only happening now, they've had the idol for a while now.

An elaborate hoax by the museum perhaps?

I saw this and I was like 'Ooh that's interesting'

You think it is a Shabti? A sort of helper statue? Not that I will buy into all that ...but still interesting.

Hummus says: Perhaps when they placed this statue in the museum, a clever and very cunning person decided to place a rotating mechanism underneath it, so that in June 2013, the likes of you and I would be made aware of such strangeness.
