Hmmm
interesting things I saw on the computer tody.
Falls
into the category of ‘I saw it on the
internet so it must be true’
An
ancient Egyptian statuette that slowly turns without any apparent outside help
in a museum in Manchester, England, has locals spookily talking about the curse
of the pharoahs. The 25 centimetre-high 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. In recent weeks it has become the cause for consternation after
repeatedly being found facing the wrong way. Time-lapse video of the statue of
a man named Neb-Senu showed it rotating slowly by day, while staying still at
night. Some scientists have suggested the rotation is due to vibrations caused
by footsteps of passing visitors. That's the theory favoured by British
television physicist Brian Cox, who teaches at Manchester's university. Manchester
Museum curator Campbell Price, an Egyptologist, favours a more exotic theory,
saying there may be a spiritual explanation for the turning statue.
Photos
unearthed by a Christchurch archivist could help finally solve a 75-year-old
mystery: What happened to Amelia Earhart? The photos found by Matthew
O'Sullivan, the keeper of photographs at the Air Force Museum in Christchurch,
could prove Earhart spent her final days as a castaway on a remote island north
of New Zealand, and that she didn't, as some believe, die in a plane
crash. Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan were last seen taking off in
her twin-engine Lockheed Electra on July 2, 1937, from Papua New Guinea en
route to tiny Howland Island, some 4000km away in the central Pacific. Radio
contact with her plane was lost after she reported running low on fuel hours
later, and the massive sea-and-air search that followed was unsuccessful.
