AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK IS AS FOLLOWS:

The Mummy that Sank the Titanic
In 1910, Douglas Murray, an Englishman, bought an ancient Egyptian mummy-case in Cairo. The case had contained the mummified body of a princess who had lived in Thebes in 1600 BC. Just a few hours after he had purchased the case, the American who had sold it to him died mysteriously. Following the American’s death, Douglas Murray learnt that the princess had been a member of a powerful religious cult and she had placed a dreadful curse on anyone who dared to disturb her final resting place.
Murray was an experienced Egyptologist and had heard many stories of curses, so he paid very little attention. But then, a few days later, he was on a shooting expedition when his gun went off in his hand. He was so badly injured that his arm had to be amputated from the elbow. Then, on the journey back to England, two of Murray’s companions died suddenly. A few months later, two of his Egyptian workers also died in mysterious circumstances.
Murray decided that he must get rid of the accursed mummy-case, and a lady offered to buy it from him. Almost immediately, her mother died, and then her boyfriend left her. When, eventually, she fell desperately ill, her lawyer persuaded her to return the mummy-case to Douglas Murray.
Murray presented the case to the British Museum, where a photographer and an Egyptologist both suddenly died. Finally, a New York museum agreed to take the case and it was shipped to America on a new, ‘unsinkable’ ship called the Titanic. The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank, taking with her 1503 people and the dreaded mummy’s curse!
