The British Museum

I've always known Ramesses II was a badass. He was kind of a hunk, too. I love the 2nd paragraph below where it's explained that he owed much of his reputation to his skills as a self-publicist, erecting more statues than any other Egyptian pharaoh and having the inscriptions changed on previous pharaohs' statues to glorify himself. 

 

Below, a tomb/monument with Greek and Persian influences, found in ruins in Turkey and reassembled by the museum. 

 

Here's something different ... a political/social/ecological statement hanging from the ground-floor ceiling.

 And a few more images from this amazing place ...

   

People were climbing all over each other to see this hunk of rock. It's the Rosetta Stone.
