Template:Inmythos Originally designed as a mansion by Bullfinch in 1919 the Cabot Museum of Archaeology is a small museum that specialises in objects from ancient and unknown civilisations. Before interest in the ancient Pacific mummy in 1932 it held little public interest but had widespread recognition in scientific circles. The mummy's presence caused a surge of occult visitors and break ins leading to the death of a guard and 2 intruders on the 1st of December 1932.

- The mummy of T'yog which entered the collection in Nov. 1879.
