Special statue in Manchester - level 2
Curators at the Manchester Museum noticed something weird. A 4,000 year-old Egyptian statue rotated.
Scientists wanted to find out the reason for this. They set up a camera and something that measured vibrations. The camera captured the statue over a long period of time. When the scientists had the pictures, they could saw it moving.
It turned out that the statue rotates during the busiest hours of the day, especially around 6 and 7 o’clock in the morning and 6 o’clock in the evening. The statue rotates because of vibration and at these times, the vibrations are the strongest.
Difficult words: curator (person who works at a museum), weird (strange), turn out (be discovered).
