If anyone actually thinks that statue slowly turning like that is some sign of the supernatural, they’re probably desperate for a sign that there’s an afterlife. I mean it took so long that they needed a time lapse camera to show us that it was actually turning “on its own” without a person going up to it and turning it around. I mean if it was really a ghost, wouldn’t it be far more convincing if the statue floated in mid air and a disembodied voice said “I’m the spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, I’m hungry. feed me” or something like that?
