  • A Mummy Might Have Sunk The 'Titanic' on Random Disturbing Instances Where Ancient Egyptian Curses Seemed To Come True

    (#2) A Mummy Might Have Sunk The 'Titanic'

    “The Unlucky Mummy” isn’t a mummy at all, but a painted wooden mummy-board of an unidentified woman. This mummy-board is currently housed at the British Museum in London, but rumor had it, it got around in its day. Apparently, during its early time at the museum, the staff would hear loud banging coming from the artifact. One man took a photograph of the mummy-board and was horrified by the image that appeared once he developed the photograph.

    The eerie events continued until a museum guard died of suspicious circumstances. Believing the coffin was cursed, the museum, reportedly, wanted to get rid of it as quickly as possible. It was said to be sold to an American archaeologist who took the mummy-board with him on his America-bound ship, the Titanic. Some people speculate that the presence of the cursed mummy-board caused its disastrous sinking.

    It's a thrilling tale, but one without any evidence: in reality, the mummy-board resided at the British Museum the entire time.

  • King Tut's Curse Strikes Again on Random Disturbing Instances Where Ancient Egyptian Curses Seemed To Come True

    (#5) King Tut's Curse Strikes Again

    In 1972, King Tut’s curse seemingly returned with a vengeance. Some of the artifacts from King Tut’s tomb were sent to the British Museum to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the tomb's discovery. Dr. Gamal Mehrez, the director of antiquities at the museum in Cairo, died the night after he handled the artifacts that were to be sent to England.

    But the curse didn’t stop there. Many of the airmen who were aboard the aircraft that was carrying the artifacts to England fell victim as well. Three of the men on the aircraft suffered from heart attacks after coming into contact with the artifacts. One of the men had a heart attack at the same time every year - the same day he flew aboard the plane with King Tut’s relics - until one of the attacks killed him.

    (#6) These Mummies Double As Ghosts

    In 1699, Louis Penicher wrote of a mummy’s curse in his book Traite des Embaumemens (Treatise on Embalming). He recounted the story of a Polish man who had purchased two mummies from Alexandria, presumably to study them for medicinal purposes. As he was sailing home across the Mediterranean Sea, he began to be haunted by two ghosts who suddenly appeared on the boat.

    (#3) The God Of Death Claims A Life

    In 1971, during an excavation in Sakkara, Egyptologist Walter Brian Emery found a small statue of the Egyptian god of death, Osiris. At the end of the day, he and his assistant returned to the dig site’s office in a nearby village. Emery took the statue of Osiris with him. Once at his house, Emery went to the bathroom to shower. After a few moments, his assistant began to hear Emery wailing. He ran to the man and found him clutching the sink’s basin, clearly experiencing some kind of trauma. His assistant said that Emery “stood there as if paralyzed. I grabbed him by the shoulders and dragged him onto the couch. Then I ran for the telephone."

    Emery was diagnosed with paralysis of the right side of his body and was unable to speak. He died the following day.
