Not many people expect to go to a hospital and encounter a 2,500-year-old mummy, but if you visit Massachusetts General Hospital, you will experience just that. Padihershef has been a resident of the Ether Dome since 1823 after he was given as a present by Dutch merchant Jacob Van Lennep.
"Between 1821 and 1868, more than 8,000 operations were performed in the Ether Dome. Today it is a teaching amphitheater and historical landmark. Visitors can explore the unique architecture and a small collection of artifacts, including an oil painting of the famous first surgery, an Egyptian mummy and early surgical tools."
So grab your peeps and head on over to this wicked crazy historical landmark. Make sure to wear your mummy gear! I'd hate for you to get mummified. BOO!!!!
