THIRD!

Inside the British Museum, where I went with my History of London class this afternoon.

Once inside the Great Hall. (Very HP sounding, no?)
Right around this time I made some stupid comment that I'm still embarrassed to have made, even four hours later. The museum has an exhibit going on right now of a Chinese terracotta army that was discovered semi-recently, and my Doctor mentioned that that building you see in that picture was filled with "Chinese warriors." So? So, I thought he said "Chinese lawyers" and, thinking it was a group of Chinese diplomats working out issues--I don't know why I thought they'd be handling business in the middle of the British museum--then proceeded to ask what they were doing in there. *face palm.*










Show me the money!


Close-up on those monies. Ooh la la!




One more! I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.


Curse Scrolls.


(If you click on this, you can read a little bit more about the Curse Scrolls. I found it amusing, to say the least.)


Bust of Emperor Nero.


The Rosetta Stone! I can't believe I was actually that close. Things are so accessible, not to mention nearly tangible. I could certainly get used to this!

Bits and pieces of the Parthenon.





Some Coptic writings.

That would be what the headdress originally looked like...

And this is how it was found. On a crushed human skull. Fancy!
