that but we're taking a 20,000 years in the past here but they offer tours of
the tomb the Egyptians used to bury their dead so the museum showcases
pieces of everyday objects from Egyptian life including the jury the makeup and
or game pieces
ancient Egypt had a polytheistic religion meaning that they worshipped
many different gods so you can see them depicted here
they say that they had about 42 different gods now we head to one of San
Jose's most bizarre landmarks the Winchester Mystery House, an
architectural wonder that later inspired the Haunted Mansion at
Disneyland this was the residence of Sarah Winchester a widow and heiress to
a large portion of a firearm fortune after her husband's death she moved from
New Haven Connecticut out west to San Jose and bought an eight-room farmhouse
that quickly became one of the world's largest home renovation projects from
1886 to 1922 the construction on this home was seemingly endless and included
24,000 square feet 10,000 windows 2000 doors 160 rooms and
17 chimneys what remained is indeed a mystery is it haunted what was her

Jose check it out San Jose is home to many different
neighborhoods including little Portugal home to the Portuguese immigrants who
immigrated from the Azores in the 1850s

gold mines
