In 2004, a man named Kevin Mannis auctioned a wine cabinet he referred to as the Dybuuk Box, which he described as containing the evil spirit that has wreaked havoc to the box's previous owners. Mannis, who owned a small antique shop in Portland claimed that he bought the box at an estate sale in 2003. It was once owned by a Jewish 8: Maori Warrior Masks The Maoris are the indigenous people of modern day New Zealand, and are known for their fierceness. They loved to taunt and scare their enemies, and carved out scary looking masks to wear in battle. They believed that when killed in battle, a warrior's spirit will remain within his mask. A Wellington based museum that houses these masks has imposed a rather strange rule for visitors - any pregnant and menstruating women are to stay away from their tour of sacred Maori artifacts, or risk incurring the curse. The museum 7: Pompeii Artifacts The ancient Roman town of Pompeii was destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvias nearly 2000 years ago. The eruption not only destroyed the city, but also killed thousands of its inhabitants, burying them under tons of volcanic ash. Today the site has become a popular tourist attraction in modern day Naples, in Italy. But it seems like the Roman gods are not done with Pompeii, as tourists who pilfer the site are also punished. Among the thousands who visit the ruins every year, there are those who go home with a little more than just memories - they take some relics themselves. However, many tourists who have 6: The Hope Diamond The Hope Diamond is one of the most famous jewels in the world. Its exceptionally rare blue color and large size awes anyone who looks at it, and has ownership records dating back almost four hundred years. According to some early accounts, the diamond was originally an eye of a sculpted statue of the goddess Sita that resided in a temple in India. Legend 5: Gettysburg Rocks The Battle of Gettysburg fought in 1863 had the largest number of casualties of the entire American Civil War. It is considered the most costly battle in American history, with casualties from both sides reaching up to 50,000 soldiers in the intense 3 day battle. Today, the battlefield is well preserved and maintained by the US National Park Service, and receives many visitors every year. Every now and then, the park would receive envelopes or packages 4: Ötzi the Iceman In September 1991, a frozen mummy was found in a glacier in the Ötztal Alps at the border between Austria and Italy. Ötzi the Iceman, as he was nicknamed, lived more than five thousand years ago, and is Europe's oldest known naturally preserved human corpse, offering valuable information for researchers and scientists studying him. But over the years, many people connected to the discovery and research of the Iceman have died under mysterious and violent circumstances, prompting allegations of an "Ötzi mummy curse" 3: The Koh-i-Noor Diamond Koh-i-Noor which translates as Mountain of Light in Persian is a 105 carat diamond, one of the largest and most well known in the world. Originating from India, it has belonged to various rulers, among them Hindu, Mughal, Afghan, and Sikh, before finally ending up in the hands of the British Monarch. The large gemstone 2: The Terra Cotta Army The terracotts soldiers are without doubt the most impressive collection of human sculptures in the world, with over 8000 soldiers and 600 horses depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China. But for the locals who first discovered the statues, the terracotta army has brought them nothing but despair. In 1974, seven local farmers in Lintong District of Shaanxi province unearthed terracotta figures while digging a water well close to the Qin Emperor’s tomb mound nearby. The discovery 1: The Tomb of Tutankhamun You've probably heard of the terrifying curse of King Tut's tomb, even if you're not much into Egyptology. 1923 remains an important date in the field of archeology and the study of Ancient Egypt when Howard Carter and his team opened the untouched tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty Tutankhamun.

not how you pronounce Maori but close. i think they see the pregnant and menstruating women has sacred, not taboo which makes it seem like they are bad. they dont want women who are pregnant/menstruating to become cursed.
