A 10 inch tall statuette of Neb-Senu located at Manchester Museum. The statue has received overnight fame after it was discovered that it appeared to be spinning on its own. After museum caretakers placed a camera next to the display, they discovered that the statue spun in full circles without anyone touching it.

Some people believe the statue is connecting to its mummy counterpart, while others believe that the vibrations of people walking past the display cause it to spin. While the vibrations theory is likely it does not explain why the statue did not spin for the first 80 years in the museum, why it spins in a perfect circle, and why the other statues on the display do not move.
