Abroad in Wales

The British Museum

We also went to the British Museum, one of the best in the world.  I will post a few pictures here, but I am also including the Facebook photo album links so you can see all the photos I took.  There was just too many beautiful and amazing things to put into this blog.

The Rosetta Stone!

Statue from the Parthenon. 

 Marble frieze from the Parthenon.

 Roman noblewoman.

 Pharaoh Soandso.

 Sumerian frieze.  The jibberish across the middle is cuneiform - the oldest known language.

 Japanese pottery.

 Samurai armor.

 Here are the links to the Facebook albums.  This was only a very small and brief sampling of what I saw.  I could write whole blogs on each exhibit, but my brain hurts from all the papers I've been writing, and the blogs would be apt to be a little punchy.
