Necks, waists, and feet broken.
Ritual deactivation of ancient
statues of pharaohs.
A ritual to ensure they had no
supernatural powers that
it was presumed statues of
dead pharaohs possessed.
Hundreds of deactivated statues
found at Karnak Cachette
from across centuries.
It must have been an effective
strategy. Far as I know, never
have any ancient Egyptian
pharaoh statues raised hell
on earth. But, I can envision a
blockbuster horror movie where
pharaoh statures that the
ancient Egyptians failed to
deactivate, with voices like
Darth Vader, destroy cities
and people with their stone-
cold paranormal powers.
And maybe the only way these
evil pharaoh statues would
be defeated is by invoking
Osiris the Egyptian god
associated with death. He
materializes from the
underworld and hunts them
down busting off their heads,
hacking their bodies in half at
their waists, and dismembering
their feet to deactivate them
and save the world. The movie
ends. The credits roll.
