NPR's Tovia Smith reports on an unusual international incident brewing in a remote Maine village. the owner of an antique shop there wants to sell a genuine 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy which he says he bought far and square from a now-defunct museum. But the Egyptian government is demanding that the mummy be returned and is threatening to put the dreaded curse of the Pharaoes on him unless he agrees.
