The Rosetta stone. That, and the Elgin marbles, were *the* highlight for me of my visit to the British Museum.
The Elgin marbles were impressive. Though they should probably be returned to Athens. 🙂
Love the last photo, the room and the two old guys on the left could almost be from some bygone era … then the young folk on the right with their newfangled camera phones 🙂
I saw old folk with newfangled camera phones, too! It was a lovely room though. Wonderful bookcases along the side (on two floors).
