Weekend Sightseeing: Part 2

On Sunday, we had a pretty lazy morning going back and forth about what we were going to do for the day.  Chris and I were both a little tired from the day before, but we can't let any of our time here go to waste.  So, we decided to check out the British Museum where lots of cool things are kept.  It didn't take long in this museum to make us exhausted again.  See below for some of the artifacts that are kept at the British Museum.

The Rosetta Stone, which contains three different languages, including hieroglyphics, and was used to decipher the meaning behind the hieroglyphic symbols.

A portion of the beard of the Sphinx.

Hieroglyphics

Ramases II - They think the hole in his chest may have been causes by those removing the statue.

1270 BC, craziness!

A portion of a frieze showing a parade of horses riding up to the Acropolis in Athens.

Mummies!  So cool at the lengths they went with their burials.  And the bodies have remained intact, so to speak.  They are even able to x-ray the mummies to determine the age at death and any ailments they might have had.

Reed and Daddy.  Thankfully, Reed slept for most of our museum tour.
