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 2009, the mummy was sent from the Royal Ontario Museum's Egyptian Display to the hospital, for scanning, under the supervision of Dr. Peter Lewin who was both a pediatrician and a paleopathologist.

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!
