Millions have watched the YouTube video of the mysterious `spinning statue' in the Manchester Museum, UK. Thousands flock to see it and the story is being reported by media worldwide. The 10-inch Egyptian statuette, dating from 1800 BC and dedicated to Osiris god of the afterlife and described as `the Lord of Love' can be seen in the museum's time-lapse video rotating by itself in its locked glass cabinet. Scientists and commentators are putting forward various theories in an attempt to explain the phenomenon and some believe the vibrations from visitors' footsteps may have caused the statue to rotate. But museum Egyptologist Campbell Price is not convinced: "That doesn't explain why neighbouring artifacts haven't budged an inch or why the statue suddenly started to move after standing for years in perfect stillness, as statues tend to do . And why would it go around in a perfect circle?" Anna Garnett, from the museum, commented that even "when the chamber was empty, the statue moved 45 degrees in 90 minutes". Share International magazine has been reporting on miracles for over 30 years and its editor Benjamin Creme offers the following explanation: "The movement of the statue is a miracle manifested by Maitreya, the World Teacher, heralding his imminent emergence. This is another one of the dozens of miracles occurring now." Miracles recently reported in Share International include: `Angel of Syria': Maitreya picks up body of wounded youth Sightings of Maitreya's `star' moving and changing colours Madonna statues weeping blood Woman exudes sticky healing nectar which objects adhere to Gigantic `Angel' near the sun filmed by NASA camera Signs of Allah and Mohammed appear on face of Muslim girl Church icons miraculously cleaned to bright gold New milk-drinking Hindu statues like the worldwide miracles of 1995 Patterns of light manifested on walls and pavements Crosses of light in windows Miracles have been occurring in increasing numbers in the last three decades. Share International connects these miracles to a bigger story: the emergence of a group of spiritual teachers at this critical time. At their head is Maitreya, the World Teacher. Expected by all religious groups under different names, he comes not as a religious teacher, but as an educator in the broadest sense, for people of all faiths and those of none. His mission is to bring the nations together in brotherhood, and to inspire the creation of a new civilization based on justice, sharing and world peace. http://www.share-international.org/media/newsmedia.htm <http://www.share-international.org/media/newsmedia.htm>
