British Museum and the Rosetta Stone. Original Pictures and Post. Part 1
Finally made my way to this magnificent place. Where everything almost comes alive. I have to say for some of these statues you have to see it to believe it. If you like Museums and history then put this place on your to do list.
Located in the Heart of London British Museum is dedicated to human history. The main hall will leave you amazed. I had to say to my self place like this does exist. Every detail looks exquisite and its really an eye candy. Who ever designed this I salute you.
The main thing I wanted to see with my own eyes, THE ROSETTA STONE. This was something i was very intrigued about and I have read a lots about it. This is the single thing that helped us decipher the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic scripts.
The Rosetta Stone it self is kept in a glass enclosure. It is located on the ground floor, on the left hand side as you walk through a grand pillars and door. You can see the entrance on the first image that I posted here. Taking a clear picture of it was hard due to lighting and because of the glass. It has 3 layers of writing on it, first one being the Egyptian hieroglyphic scripts, the second one is called the Demotic which is also Egyptian and finally the last layer is greek.
Another interesting artifact that I found was very intriguing was the biblical Flood Tablets.
Please stay tuned, I will be positing part two of this visit soon. Where I will show you guys all the interesting stuff that they have inside.

yay to steams. thank you for you support.
nice post
Thank you @curiousity
I'm surprised you got so close to the Stone, usually the crowds around it make it hard to get a good look, never mind a good picture. But yeah, the British Museum is BRILLIANT. If you're in the area, check out the British Library, which does have public exhibits, and the Wellcome Collection, a history of medicine museum. The Wellcome, incidentally, has one of the best cafes around.
thx for the advice, I have been to the British library several time and I truly love that place and love that all of this is free in London. I usually used to hang around Trafalgar Square. :)
