The Rosetta Stone

I was in London one more day while the group headed for Paris; I took the chance to spend some hours at the British Museum, just around the corner from my B&B.
One of many huge Egyptian Statues
 |
Every hour or so, of course, I'd have to catch the World Cup games at various pubs, then stroll back through Russell Square to the museum for more.
One could, and really should spend several days at this museum, also a must-see attraction in London.
Solid gold torc from early celts
 |
The ancient celtic exhibits were my favorites, but I saw less than half the museum. Just have to go back, I guess.
