Something creepy is happening at the Manchester Museum and experts do not have the answers. The statue of Neb Sanu was found in the tomb of a mummy and dates back to 1,800 BC. While the relic has been standing in the museum for 80 years, it has only recently been noticed that the statue moves. Egyptologist Campbell Price suggests the statue movement is due to an Egyptian curse.

I noticed one day that it had turned around. I thought it was strange because it is in a case and I am the only one who has a key.

I put it back but then the next day it had moved again. We set up a time-lapse video and, although the naked eye can’t see it, you can clearly see it rotate on the film. The statuette is something that used to go in the tomb along with the mummy.

In Ancient Egypt they believed that if the mummy is destroyed then the statuette can act as an alternative vessel for the spirit. Maybe that is what is causing the movement.

But the comment section of the YouTube channel where the video was posted suggests that the movement is due to the tremors of large groups of people walking by or large trucks passing. Either way it is a little creepy.

Watch the time-lapse video and decide for yourself. The statue to watch is the tall dark statue at the end of the row of statues.
