What ancient leader is now thought by some experts to have spent a century or so just lying around near Niagara Falls ?

I just want everyone to know that I am watching the replies to this very closely.

King Ramses I, an important Egyptian pharaoh, whose mummy did time entertaining museum visitors on their honeymoons, his remains having been misidentified as that of a commoner.

As seen on on PBS's Nova series, The Mummy Who Would Be King (one of the few decent tv shows I can still get using only rabbit ears ).

And all this time, DG, I thought it was Vegas...

"Niagara Falls?" Cue Abbot & Costello routine -- or was is the Three Stooges?

It was both, and at least two other comedy teams. Who originated the act is no longer known, but it was a vaudeville staple that made it into movies and TV.

Thanks, DG.

Quite right Professor. I just watched the special repeat a few days ago on PBS and found it fascinating.

Thanks for the answer !
