I can't think of a specific book--I'm not really into horror fiction. But I became interested in ancient Egyptian stuff at an early age. I was never bothered by any of the mummy stuff. One time, though, I must have been 8 or so, I was reading something about the seven ancient wonders of the world. It was talking about the Colossus of Rhodes, and it referred to a king... it said something like, "Built in the reign of King Ptolemy I, the colossus stood in the harbor . . . . etc." I didn't realize that was a Roman numeral and not the word "I." So I interpreted as, the colossus wrote this sentence(!) and was explaining how he stood in the harbor during the reign of King Ptolemy. EEEEewwwwwwwwww it just creeped me out to no end. I still remember it.
