Egypt: The Curse Of The Pharaohs Is Coming True in 2021
News of the Ever Given cargo ship fully blocking traf- fic through the Suez Canal for the first time in its history has gone viral for about a week now, but the latest conversa- tions have been suggesting a paranormal activi- ty controlling Egyptian fates recently.
Online commen- tators have been starting to notice a pattern in disas- trous events hit- ting Egypt for about a week now, including the Suez Canal being blocked by a humongous Japanese-owned cargo ship, caus- ing an internation- al trade halt through the vital waterway, one that is feared to further burden the
already aggravat- ed global econo- my.
In addition to, so far, failed attempts to refloat the Ever Given ship, Egypt has suffered a deadly train crash near Suhaj city, one that resulted in at least 39
deaths, as per fig- ures provided by the Egyptian Health Ministry.
Moreover, Egyptian local news has report- ed 18 deaths in the collapse of a residential build- ing in el-Salam neighbourhood in Cairo. A few
hours later, resi- dents of El- Marioutteya area in Giza reported the collapse of parts of the form- work of an under- construction bridge, but no injures have been reported by offi- cials so far.
On Saturday, too,
a huge fire started in a train
station in the city of Zagazig to the south of Egypt, causing panic across travelers before the fire was successfully extinguished.
Online,
this unusual sequence of events has been linked to the long- awaited national event scheduled next Saturday in Egypt, one during which 22 ancient Egyptian mum- mies and 17 royal tombs are going to be transferred from the old Egyptian Museum near Tahrir Square to the Grand Egyptian Museum to the west of the Nile, in what has been called a Royal Parade.
According to social media users, the unfor- tunate events that have been report- ed in Egypt are increasingly being associated with the "Curse of the pharaohs" that have long been discussed and featured in mythology and Sci-fi literary works.
Many Egyptians are expressing their fears online, saying that the attempts of relo- cating the ancient mummies might be causing all the disruptions across the country, sug- gesting that it may be better for Egypt to cancel the event and keep the mum- mies in their cur- rent location.
