The tomb of Ezra, most celebrated figure of the Old Testament next to Moses, has been used as a maternity hospital for 2,200 years. A priest and 22 midwives are in constant attendance. Xu Qi came to the throne of China at the age of six in 1644. After ruling 17 years, he fell in love with a concubine named Tung Ki. Because he couldn't marry her, the emperor withdrew to a monastery.

He was arrayed in the imperial robes of yellow silk, seated in a canopied throne, and has remained in this position wonderfully lifelike after 300 years. Believe It or Not!
