I'm sure it's the cleaning lady.

 

[Rakehellion]

It's trying to face Mecca.

time-lapse video

There's your problem, right there.

Vibration. Notice it only moves during the day when people are walking by the display case. Could also be from near by construction. As for the other statues, maybe they're heavier or have a rough bottom on them.

What a load of shit.

It's 2013 - give us a damn 1080p raw uncut video. My cell phone can do it.

Those Egyptians are full of shit.

I didn't watch the video cause there's 60,000 scripts on that page, and I don't feel like finding the one that makes movies play. I agree with vibration, and it could be checked by putting it on a piece of leather. That should stop it from turning.

 

[disappoint]

Vibration and the display case is no longer level. That explains why it never happened before and suddenly started happening recently.

I'm sure it's the cleaning lady.

Well only 1 guy has the key. I say it's due to vibration somehow and perhaps the bottom of the statue has a slight hump that gradually causes it to rotate as the shelf vibrates. Vent fans, passerby's, the earth...anything could cause a vibration.

yup that is exactly what i thought when i first saw it too.

 

[TheVrolok]

I imagine they know it's really vibration, but are just trying to drum up some interest in the museum.

 

[ThinClient]

Interesting that it never moves during closed hours lol.

Here it is on you tube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0InpgUPOq0

Or an AC system, my air handler has a slight vibration when it runs, a couple of the windows rattle a bit when it first kicks on..

Does Ben Stiller know about this???

Thanks. The statue has a slightly convex portion on the bottom that favors the back. The shelf leans towards the back of the case. Vibration makes it turn towards the back, but not past 180° due to the bottom of the statue. It kind of "hangs" there.

Prolly cause the AC is shut down at night or doesn't cycle much, this is just some type of vibration, they should put a small piece of fabric underneath it and see if it still moves then.

 

[SirStev0]

Anyone else notice how incredibly few people went through that museum each day...
No wonder they are grasping at straws for publicity.

I hope they didn't spend too much time trying to find just the right shelf angle to accomplish this hoax. :biggrin:

Yep. The answer is obvious. I'm guessing it is vibrations from their HVAC.

Vibration makes a statue rotate. Airline forgets to stock a basic item.
What are we going to have news articles about next?


"Mysterious effect causes white gas-filled tubes to make light!

Office dwellers dazzled by the strange ceiling-mounted objects."

That would bring on one of the milder mummy's curses: Whoever put the fabric beneath it would incur one additional mosquito bite per year.

Vibration and a settling building, ask anyone living next to a railroad track.

 

[BladeVenom]

Small grain of sand underneath it acts as a pivot point, while heavy trucks driving by during the day cause enough vibration to make it move.

That guy with the haircut thinks it was aliens.
