Siberians say wrath of Princess of Altai causing tremors

Superstitious Folly

Siberians claim the excavation of the Princess of Altai, a 2,500 old mummy is causing tremors. Where's Boris Karloff with those tana leaves when you need him.

Shamanism is still strong in the Altai mountains and one local leader said the mummy's "spirit" had to be appeased.

Aulkhan Jatkambayev said tremors had been happening at the rate of two or three times a week, sometimes measuring up to four on the Richter scale.

"People think this will go on as long as the Princess's spirit is not allowed to rest in peace," he told AFP news agency.
