Summary

🍅 The sauce:

The secret sauce is probably one of its coolest features. The sarcophagus of Pharaoh Seti I, displayed in a candlelit basement room—yep you heard that right, real mummy sarcophagus.

The house itself is pretty cool too. They say it is filled with hidden doors, optical illusions (which we didn’t see so kudos to them) and a beautiful art collection.
