I'm so glad we don't let shit countries have their shit back

1. You guys are cute together =]
2. The mummy is badass

 

[Abcinthia]

Hehe thanks.

I think there are a couple more pictures of Mummys. I know I have some of the Sarcophagi. I took over 100 pictures and some need to be flipped but I'm too tired right now.

Lol, I understand that. I'll have to show my mom these, she loves all things Egyptian.

Well I got plenty of them I got some pictures of various statues (There was a cool one of a winged man-lion beast. I had to wait ages for people to move out the way lol) as well and Zorak got a picture of the Rosetta Stone.

Thanks for sharing. Very Nice

Zorak got a picture of the Rosetta Stone.

Not great pictures, because of the crowds and lighting and the glass case

Yeah in one of them, you can see a face reflected in the glass like a ghost. It's uber scary.

 

[brieze]

Ooh! I'd like to see the Rosetta Stone :nod:

 

[Abcinthia]

I think this was the best photo of the Rosetta Stone. It's behind glass and EVERYONE wanted to see it with flashing cameras going off every couple of seconds.

 

[Zorak]

That's not bad actually, given the circumstances.

Ideally, I'd have liked a clear view so I could step back and let the camera adjust to the light and turn the flash off.

Very neat pictures!

With the Stone, the one thing I have never understood is how people don't realize that if everyone stood just a couple steps back, then more people could see and it wouldn't be so crowded. You don't have to be right on top of things.

Cos they are idiots.

If Zorak had dared step back then someone would have just stood in front and completely obscured the picture. People were desperate to see it. I had to take Imogen away from it because it was too packed.

Haha, I was more talking about this old ginger.
