"FRAZIER: This particular item here, of great fascination. You were involved in a similar case, your institution, in the return of a mummy to Egypt. Tell me about that, briefly.

GAUNT: Well this was the body, which turned out to be of the pharaoh Ramses the first. And he came to us as part of a much larger collection of Egyptian funeral art, mostly coffins, mummy, scarabs and other paraphernalia from the graves. And this was a collection that had been acquired by the Niagara Falls Museum, which was a hotel up on Niagara Falls and the man who had the hotel thought that he would make more money if he had a museum, so he sent somebody up in there with some cash in the middle of the 19th Century and they came back with all these things.

We brought the collection enbloc and muddled up in those objects there turned out to be the body of somebody that we determined was a royal personage, a pharaoh. And even as we purchased them, these objects, we had made contact with Egyptian authorities and said, by the way, this exists. We have it. And if it turns out to be a royal body, if you would like to have it back, you'd be very welcome to it. And they said when it turns out to be a royal personage, Ramses I, so packed it up and sent it back."

Thanks, great pics,  wouldn't mind gettin my hands on a  '57.

My Uncle had a 54 Coupe Deville and I loved that car. It had a centre armrest between the seats, very uncommon back then and he'd sit me on it and drive around town. He lived in Niagara Falls and I have so many great memories of that car.  I agree with you about getting your hands on a '57 as depicted, that was the golden era of Cadillac and nothing demanded respect like a Caddy.

You know my uncles was a Shriner there in NF and on their Fez were the words RAMSES.
