British Museum 1 mummy case
Thats how it would have appeared, except for the fact that no such artifact was ever shipped on the Titanic. It was just another of the liners myths, a story totally without foundation, yet a tale More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President that had gained credence through years tom brandstater
retelling. Montague knew its background well. It had originated with an actual event the second evening of the ships maiden voyage. At one of the first-class dining saloon tables, a prominent English journalist named William T. Stead was entertaining his More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President dinner companions with a wild yam about an Egyptian mummy that brought austin collie
curse upon anyone who owned it-mysterious illnesses, violence, and, eventually, death. Stead, one of the most respected writers of his time, was en route to America to address a peace conference at the More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President personal invitation of President William Howard Taft, but he also was a devout believer in spiritualism and the edgewater florida
a skilled raconteur, he had his listeners actually believing the story. In truth, Stead himself had planted the seeds of later embellishment. There was no such mummy; what More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President he was referring to was an empty mummys case owned by the British Museum-a coffin whose intricately carved cover included a face with tormented, green day tickets
eyes. Stead had transferred this unhappy countenance to that of a non-existent mummy, a story that would have been forgotten if More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President it was not for the fact that one of his dinner companions survived the sinking and related it to a New York World reporter. Montague smiled to himself as he remembered tom brandstater
the mummys curse also had survived-exaggerated and distorted with every fresh telling until it became More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President part of the Titanic legend. Montague knew the ultimate version was a horror story: There supposedly was a mummy case aboard the ship, the property of a wealthy American collector who had purchased it from the green day tickets
Museum and was taking it to New York. When More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President the liner sank, the American bribed a cargo handler to put the case in a lifeboat and then bribed someone on the rescue ship Carpathia to take it aboard. The case, so this account continued, stayed in the Americans private collection for two green day tickets
period marked by More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President a series of unexplainable tragedies afflicting his family. He decided to send the artifact back to England and shipped it on the Empress of Ireland, a liner that on May 29, 1914, collided with another ship in the St. Lawrence River and sank with a More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page More Page The American President loss of more than cynthia woods mitchell pavilion
thousand lives-presumably, along with the mummy case and its curse. Marvelous yarn, Montague mused, but absolute fiction. The mummy case in question never had left England and was still in the British Museum;.
