Eli and the real live dead mummy

Based on true events, this story relates the fictional encounter between a young patient at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children and Djetmattasankh, a 3000-yearold mummy.

In this creative re-imagining, hilarity results as a young patient tries to convince his parent's that he did not imagine the mummy in the hospital!Based on true events, this story relates the fictional encounter between a young patient at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children and Djetmattasankh, a 3000-yearold mummy.
