the curse of the mummy.
many strange stories have been told about the pyramids in egypt, but perhaps the strangest is about the coffin of an Egyptian priestess. Legend has it that a young Englishman who was on vacation in Egypt bought her coffin in the 1890s. after buying the coffin, he was seen walking toward the desert. he never returned. local people began to talk about "the curse the mummy."
the coffin was sent to England and was bought by a London businessman who had heard the story of the young Englishman. "there are no such things as 'curses.' the young man can't have just disappeared. he must still be in the desert somewhere," he said.
however, when three members of the businessman's family were injured in a car accident and his house caught on fire, he changed his mind. "the coffin must be cursed. i wish i had never bought it," he said,and then he arranged of the coffin to be sent to the british museum.
on the morning of the delivery, one of the two workers carrying the coffin fell and broke his leg. the other worker died two days later. many visitors to the museum has very bad luck after visiting the coffin.
finally, the coffin was locked in a room in the basement of the museum until it could be sold. within a week one of the workers who had carried the coffin was seriously ill, and the other one was found dead at his desk.
in the decade that the coffin was in england, twenty people had either been injured, become ill or died. many people wished someone would take the coffin away.
an american archaeologist bought the coffin and arranged to take it back to new york with him. "surely people can't still believe in curses. this is the 20th century!" he said. in april 1912 the archaeologist and the coffin boarded a brand new luxury ship on its very first voyage to new york. the name of the ship was titanic.
