Spinning statue

Intro

Teacher notes
- The staff at the Manchester Museum noticed that something was amiss with one of their Egyptian statues - it kept moving! They decided to set up a time lapse camera to take a picture every minute for a week. This is the result.
- A short video showing a mysteriously rotating Egyptian statue. The museum soon realised that the statue was moving due to an uneven base being disturbed by visitors' footsteps, however, the media reported on it as a supernatural event.
