Hala Hassan, curator of the Tutankhamun collection at the Egyptian Museum, claimed that it had “magical powers” and that “whenever someone blows into it, a war occurs”. During a documenting and photographing process, one of the museum’s staff had blown into it, and a revolution broke out a week later. The same thing had happened before with the 1967 war and prior to the 1991 gulf war, when a student was doing a comprehensive research on Tutankhamun’s collection."[7]

Well, hell, this could explain a lot!
