TOURIST RETURNS CURSED STONES TO POMPEII

The director of the Roman ruins of Pompeii received an envelope in the mail from a woman who claims she got breast cancer after stealing three “cursed” rocks from the historical site. The three small rocks were in the envelope along with a letter that read, “I didn’t know about the curse. I didn’t know that I should not take any rocks. Within a year, I got breast cancer. I am a young and healthy female, and doctors said it was just ‘bad luck.’ Please accept my apology and these pieces.” Staffers at Pompeii say they’ve received similar letters from “every corner of the globe” for years.
– In 2020, a woman sent back a ceramic piece, two mosaic tiles, and a jar fragment, writing that she’d endured years of financial ruin and two bouts of cancer after stealing the artifacts 15 years earlier.
* Well, the science is sound.
* It’s about as scientific as doctors claiming people get cancer from “bad luck.”
* It’s like they say: Ignorance of the curse is no excuse.
* They’ve received similar letters from “every corner of the globe” for years. And still no warning signs around the ruins.
* Let me tell you – those rocks from Mt. Vesuvius weren’t too good for the people of Pompeii, either.
