Rogie Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 "Time-lapse footage shows an Egyptian statue moving in its glass display cabinet, according to a Manchester Museum. The museum says it installed a stop-motion camera after reports the carving had started changing position, despite apparently not being moved by human hands for 80 years." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23029507 Quote

Rogie Posted November 21, 2013 Author Posted November 21, 2013 Mystery of rotating Egyptian statue solved I'd love to be able to report I'd solved the mystery, perhaps the biggest on-going mystery since the failure to crack Beachlover's real identity: Rather more mundane it turns out. . . It was the mystery that had internet sleuths scratching their heads for months. How was it possible for a 4,000-year-old Egyptian statue to spin 180 degrees while contained in a sealed glass box? Now a television investigation has uncovered truth: Tiny vibrations from traffic and passers-by were causing the Manchester Museum artefact to spin on its axis. The discovery brings to an end frenzied speculation that followed the emergence of video footage showing the 10-inch tall stone statue slowly turning without being touched. Online speculators had suggested everything from "some sort of magnetic field" to the "resurrection of the curse" made by an Ancient Egyptian god to explain the footage when it went viral in July. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/10461987/Mystery-of-rotating-Egyptian-statue-solved.html KhorTose and vinapu 2 Quote
