If movies have taught us anything, the best outcome is Night at the Museum. I think we need to preemptively nuke the place so zombies or some horrifying plague doesn't kill us all

Well, either that or secure the statue properly so the traffic on Oxford Road doesn't bounce it around and make the superstitious think it's possessed.

This being England, I wonder how long till there's a Muslim protest complaining that this graven image insults the Prophet.

What really sucks is that what you said here is not just possible but probable.

Why can't I find information (besides this story) on Neb-senu?

As best I can determine Nebsen was a scribe in the third dynasty. This much is certain.

There's a few references to paired statues of Nebsen and Nebet-ta as a married couple but that's not possible as Nebetah was a daughter of Amenhotep 3rd in the 18th dynasty. More likely is that the statues referenced are of Nebsen and a woman who is (of Nebsen) and the name (of Nebsen) was mistranslated.

In any case, a scribe would not have been married to a princess.

Meanwhile, the true cause of the phenomena has been discovered. The museum display is right next to this guys bedroom.

The Sun... well that explains everything.
