The British Museum

Yesterday, Darrel and I made our way to The British Museum.  The items that are on display in the museum are definitely one of the best collections of looted and pillaged items from around the world.  Wikipedia is a little bit better with their political correctness and state "The British Museum is a museum of human history and culture in London.  Its collections, which number more than seven million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present."  It is really quite brilliant what you see when you go there:  they have a portion of The Rosetta Stone, which was used to decipher ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics;  they have one of the larges collections of Greek and Roman Antiquities, which include many of the original pediment sculptures and friezes (known as the Elgin marbles) from the Parthenon; and, they also have one of the Easter Island Statues on display...just to name a few of the things we saw. 

The museum and its collection is truly unbelievable.

A little blurry, but it does describe the Rosetta Stone.
