Guest alex Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The British Museum is well worth seeing imo, but it's not exactly British is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The British Museum is well worth seeing imo, but it's not exactly British is it? 88786[/snapback] well there are few coins from Ethrics day and the Sutton Hoo traesure and Bede's book on "The History of the Great Gatsby as told to me" and the Lindisfarne gospels - sounds OK to me And of course the Elgin Marbles were bought fair and square from the authorities at the time......

Would you say the vast majority of the artifacts on display were from Britain or elsewhere? Have you been though, did you miss the bit dedicated to the Americas?

Rob W 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have been - in fact I once did a job round the corner from there and used to waste the odd lunchtime browsing around in side - but I really can't remember any 'Merican stuff....................

The Fish 11070 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 some dead mummies in the British museum. 88765[/snapback] nee dead daddies though coincedence? I think not. I blame the damn damn western infidels and their intolerance of other cultures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11070 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 also artefacts in a museum are the only legitimate way to guage links with another society. Fact. it's got bugger all to do with the way society as a whole thinks, speaks, acts, the fashions and fads they follow, the laws they follow... nope it's only a true link if you've got something musty and old in a cupboard on display somewhere....

TheInspiration 1 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 For 100% gurantee safety, I'd have recommended the Dead Sea as a good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
