Has anyone ever predicted the tragedy of Titanic?

In p>1898, the British writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called In vain. The novel describes an unsinkable luxury ship named Titan, which made its maiden voyage from England to the United States on the other side of the ocean. This is the largest and most luxurious passenger ship in the history of human navigation. The ship was equipped with all the luxurious facilities within its power at that time. The ship was full of rich passengers, and people enjoyed it heartily on this huge ship. However, the great ship hit an iceberg on its first voyage, sank tragically and many passengers were buried at the bottom of the sea.

No one expected that the story written in this novel became an unfortunate reality fourteen years later. On the night of April 15th, 1912, Titanic, the largest luxury passenger ship at that time, sank because it hit an iceberg.

After the tragedy, some people thought of this novel and found that there were many similarities between the two ships except that their names were almost the same:

Both ships sank on their first voyage, both of which were caused by hitting icebergs, and the accident sites were in the North Atlantic.

Both ships sail in April, and the routes are from England to America.

Titan's supposed weight is 7, tons, while Titanic's actual weight is 66, tons.

The length of Titan is 8 feet, and the length of Titanic is slightly more than 88 feet.

Both ships have three propellers, and the speed of colliding with icebergs is 23 knots.

There is another thing in common. The reason for the heavy casualties of passengers after the accidents of the two ships is that there are not enough lifeboats on board.

Some people compared the news of the sinking of Titanic published by The New York Times, and the plot and process were very similar to Robertson's novels. It can even be said that the story in the novel is a portrayal of the sinking of the Titanic, which occurred 14 years earlier.

The curse of Princess Amanra

In Egypt around 15 BC, there was a princess named Amanra. The princess was not famous before her death. When she died, the Egyptians made her body into a mummy and buried it in the Valley of the Kings, just like other members of the royal family.

With the passage of time, this ordinary princess was quickly forgotten by the world. However, no one expected that this name has been repeatedly mentioned in awe since the twentieth century, and it has become synonymous with magic and fear.

In p>189, four young Englishmen were visiting Egypt. Through a local cultural relic dealer, one of them bought an ancient Egyptian coffin, which contained the mummy of Princess Amanra. Although the incantation engraved on the coffin lid was very uncomfortable, English arrogance offset the fear.

Only a few hours after the mummies were transported back to their hotel, the lucky buyer didn't tell anyone, and didn't bring any food, water or tools. It was like going for a walk nearby. A person quietly approached the desert and never appeared again. The next morning, another was shot in the street. Although the mummy was finally shipped back to England, bad luck followed closely. One of the remaining two people went bankrupt quickly, and the other suffered a series of blows in business and family life, and finally ended up poor and seriously ill.

Nightmares are everywhere

The next owner of the princess's mummy is a wealthy British businessman who loves Egyptian culture. Soon, the businessman was involved in a car accident, and his villa was destroyed by a bizarre and sudden fire. In great fear, he donated the mummy to the British Museum.

The British Museum doesn't seem to be afraid of the creepy rumor. They accepted the gift. Then, after a series of ominous events, such as the loss of control of the delivery truck and the injury of passers-by, the injury of porters and the sudden and unprovoked death, Princess Amanla was finally placed in the Egyptian showroom of the museum. However, Princess Amanra, who is surrounded by Egyptian antiquities, seems to show the real magic. First of all, the guard in charge of guarding at night reported to his superiors that there were often gentle cries and knocks near her coffin. Soon, a guard on duty at night died mysteriously.

The museum decided to collect the mummy in the basement, but the director who made this decision died suddenly at his desk a week later. A photographer who took pictures of mummies shot himself in his home the day after the photos were developed, and the terrible face that should not have existed in the photos was grinning with horror!

In the end, the tortured British Museum sold the mummy to a private collector. The first thing he did after buying the troubled princess was to invite the most famous psychic in Europe, Polawatsky, to hold an exorcism ceremony for the mummy. After the tedious exorcism ceremony, Mrs. Polawatsky reluctantly announced that there was "an amazing amount of evil energy in Princess Amanra, and the devil will always exist in her, and no one will be able to do anything about it". Mrs. Polawatsky advised the collector to get rid of her as soon as possible.

After the Titanic

was displaced for more than ten years, Princess Amanla's mummy was finally bought by her last owner, an American archaeologist who did not believe in evil and sneered at supernatural phenomena. To be on the safe side, the archaeologist chose Titanic, which was just launched at that time and was made of the most advanced technology. He carefully placed the troubled princess in the back of the captain's cabin, hoping to reach the United States safely all the way, and no one noticed the ominous inscription on the coffin.

At noon on April 1th, 1912, the Southampton Harbour in the south of English was overcast, and thousands of people flocked here to see off the maiden voyage of Titanic, the pride of Great Britain and the largest luxury passenger ship in the world. Gentlemen and ladies on board proudly waved goodbye to the shore. The people who saw them off greeted them with envy. For a while, the port was unprecedentedly bustling.

Mysterious telepathy

At the last moment before the departure of the Titanic, a London industrialist gave up his ticket because of a strange dream. Just three days ago, he dreamed that the Titanic sank in the sea, and a large number of crew and passengers tried their best to escape. People scrambled to get into the lifeboat. Many adults and children were mercilessly thrown into the sea. Most people were tragically swallowed up by the sea with the ship. He was laughed at unanimously by his friends because he gave up the trip, because the safety performance of Titanic was far beyond the times. The problem about the shortage of lifeboats, which was repeatedly mentioned later, was actually excluded from consideration by everyone, because it was a joke to talk about the sinking of an unsinkable ship. On April 14, 1912, the sea was calm, the stars were shining in the sky and the weather was surprisingly cold.

On that night, the 14-year-old niece of a staff member on the Titanic had a strange dream. She dreamed that one end of a very big ship suddenly sank, and she heard a very sharp cry.

On the evening of 14th, a girl named Jessie was lying on a passenger ship and dying. She told Captain Thornton one of her hallucinations. She said that she saw a sinking ship and a man named Wali was coming towards her with a violin. Then the girl died. Wally who plays the violin? Who is he? Now we know that Vari Hartree, the conductor of the band on Titanic, was the one who conducted the band to continue playing brilliantly during the sinking until it sank with the ship. Although Thornton knew him several years ago, the girl must have never heard of Wally Hartree.

About three and a half hours later, Titanic hit an iceberg.
