Titanic's cursed mummy

From 'Nos Loisirs', 14 January 1912

This is the only known picture ever published by the French press of the supposedly cursed mummy that some still think caused the sinking of the Titanic. The name of the evil priestess of god Amen-Ra was Tcheser-Ka-Ra and as early as January 1912, the press talked about the number of people who died because of the curse she cast on those who saw, touched or even just approached her.
