Proof that some love stories defy the bounds of time and mortality, a man has captured the hearts of many by professing his undying affection for an Egyptian mummy he stumbled upon during a fateful trip to Egypt in 2014. What began as a chance encounter in the Sahara Desert has blossomed into a unique and enduring relationship that has left the world both stunned and enamored.
James Harrison is a 45-year-old sales account manager with a penchant for all things Egypt. It was on a scorching day in the Egyptian desert that James stumbled upon the ancient relic buried beneath layers of sand and history. Little did he know that this chance discovery would change the course of his life forever.
“At first, I was taken aback by her beauty,” James recalls, gazing fondly at the mummy seated beside him in his modest home. “There was something about her that spoke to me, as if she were calling out to me from the depths of history.”
But it wasn’t just the mummy’s ethereal charm that captivated James—it was her unwavering presence, her silent companionship, and an ancient bonding curse that drew him in like a moth to a flame. In a feat of ingenuity and devotion, James meticulously fashioned a set of eyes into the empty sockets of the mummy’s skull and molded the expression on her face into a serene smile.
“It was as if she came to life before my very eyes, look at how beautiful she looks!” James muses, his voice tinged with a mixture of awe and reverence. “From that moment on, I knew she was the one for me.”
And so began a love affair unlike any other. James welcomed the mummy into his home, treating her with the care and affection reserved for a cherished partner. In her silent embrace, he found solace, companionship, and a cursed love that transcended the boundaries of time and space.
But James’s newfound love did not come without its challenges. His first wife, Susan, was understandably taken aback by being replaced by a 2,400-year-old corpse. Yet, over time, she too came to appreciate the cursed bond that James shared with his ancient paramour, moving out in 2016 before filing for divorce in 2017.
“At first, I was jealous,” Susan admits, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “I even thought it was a little gross, the things he did to that thing while I was trying to sleep on the other side of the bed. But when I saw the adventures they went on together—the trips to museums, the romantic dinners by candlelight—I knew that James had found something special. I didn’t want to get cursed, so I had to let him go.”
James and his mummy bride have traveled all over the world, drawing curious onlookers from far and wide. Together, they traverse the sands of time, their love story captivating the hearts and imaginations of all who encounter them.
“She’s the perfect wife,” James beams, his hand resting tenderly on the mummy’s weathered cheek before leaning in for a kiss on her decomposed lips. “She doesn’t try to control me, she doesn’t spend my money, and let me tell you, she’s fantastic in bed.”
As James continues to build his life around his mummy bride, recently embarking on the creation of a giant stone monolith in his backyard for a reason unknown to him, one thing is abundantly clear: love knows no bounds, not even the bounds of death itself. In the grand tapestry of life, their union stands as a testament to the enduring power of love, and proves that with the help of curses, the human heart cannot be kept under wraps.
