Eto'o's Cursed Mansion



Former Barcelona forward Samuel Eto’o has splashed out a serious amount of money to buy an Italian villa. According to Corriere Dello Sport, the £18.5 million Italian mansion was reportedly bought by Eto’o despite warnings by locals that the house is haunted by the curse of the “Tutankhamun.”The ex-Cameroonian international has purchased the historic property in Portofino, near Genoa in northern Italy.  The property, called “Villa Altachiara,” was previously owned by Lord Carnarvon, who was known to be jinxed with the “Curse of the Pharaoh.”

Lord Carnarvon was working with famous English archaeologist Howard Carter when they discovered the tomb of ancient Egyptian ruler Tutankhamun, opening the ‘cursed’ burial plot on February 16 1923.

Famously, of the 58 people present when Tutankhamun’s long-lost tomb was opened, eight died within a dozen years. Moreover, Lord Carnarvon bizarrely died after he got an infection after cutting a mosquito bite on his face while shaving.

In addition, Lord Carnarvon’s nephew died in Villa Altachiara by falling down the stairs, while more recently, in 2001, former Gucci model and heiress Countess
Francesca Agusta vanished from the cliff-top property.

Those scary stories, however, didn’t stop the former Chelsea man from buying Villa Altachiara. The mansion has 40 rooms and 30,000 square-metres of land.

Lunar eclipse The longest total lunar eclipse of the 21st century occurs on July 27 – this is what you need to know. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon enters Earth’s shadow. The July 27 eclipse will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes, according to NASA . The Moon will turn a red or ruddy-brown color during the “blood moon eclipse,” Space.com reports. Skywatchers in the U.S will not be able to enjoy the rare event, unless they are willing to travel. The eclipse will be mainly visible in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia as well as some parts of South America. “For an especially long-lasting total lunar eclipse of 1 hour and 43 minutes to occur, the moon has to pass through the central part of the Earth’s shadow,” explains EarthSky. “The previous total lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018, didn’t last as long (1 hour and 16 minutes) because the moon passed to the south of shadow’s center; and the next total lunar eclipse on January 21, 2019 , won’t be as long eith
