But the ‘mystery of the moving mummy’\u00a0 –\u00a0 which has seen an Egyptian statue mysteriously start to spin round in a display case – has spooked museum bosses.<\/p>\n

The 10-inch tall relic, an offering to the Egyptian God Osiris, was found in a mummy’s tomb and has been at the ManchesterMuseum for 80 years.<\/p>\n

But in recent weeks, curators have been left scratching their heads after they kept finding it facing the wrong way. They now believe there could be a ‘spiritual explanation’ for the turning statue.<\/p>\n

It is believed that there is a curse of the pharaohs which strikes anyone who dares to take relics from a pyramid tomb.<\/p>\n

Experts decided to monitor the room on time-lapse video and were astonished to see it clearly show the statuette spinning 180 degrees – with nobody going near it.<\/p>\n

Now scientists are trying to explain the phenomenon, with TV physicist Brian Cox among the experts being consulted.<\/p>\n

Scientists who explored the Egyptian tombs in the 1920s were popularly believed to be struck by a ‘curse of the Pharaohs’.
