When I first saw the story of the curse of the Egyptian Princess of Amen-Ra and why the Titanic really sunk, I thought that it was just a funny story and an obvious hoax.I have since put considerable time and research into this and have discovered that, far from a hoax, this is a story which describes actual historical events, which really happened. In the first place, this story is not the concoction of some Internet crazed cyber-freak. The story has existed since the day the first survivors of the Titanic arrived ashore. It was told by Frederic Kimber Seward and other surviving passengers. They vividly described how a passenger named William T. Stead had told them the story of the curse of the Egyptian mummy, on the night before the Titanic sank.

They also told how William T. Stead had gone down with the ship. He had just sat quietly reading a book in the First Class Smoking Room as the ocean liner sank. In my research, I have found several errors in the most popular version of this story, which I have now corrected.The popular version states that the coffin of the Egyptian Princess was first purchased in the late 1890s. However, this cannot be, because Madame Helena Blavatsky, who is said to have personally encountered the mummy, died in 1891.

In reality, the coffin arrived in the British Museum in 1889. Thus, it is clear that the story of the coffin dates from the 1880s, not from the late 1890s.Another error is that the story says that the princess lived in 1500 BC. The British Museum, however, gives the date of her death as 1050 BC, which is 450 years later.

Tutankhamen-like Curse Killed Nepal's Royal Family?

The evil eye throughout history

They've always said that the eye is the window to the soul. Perhaps the real truth is that it is the window of intent. When you drive on the highway and get cut off, the first thing you do is give a sharp glare at the offender, though some of us choose to complement it with a colorful hand gesture. We use our eyes to correct misbehaving children, we shoot a look of incredulity when someone says something ridiculous, and we even advise our friends and family to "always look him in the ey...

Behind the curse

Anthony North: It can get to you. It can grip you, turn you inside out, and even kill you. At least, that’s what some people believe.
