The British Museum
We begin by looking at the museum itself, and the story of how this world-famous institution came to house objects from across human history. From there, we move into Ancient Egypt, where the Rosetta Stone opens the door to the world of hieroglyphs, Pharaohs, religion, and the beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife. Among statues, sacred imagery, and mummies, we explore how the Egyptians understood both life and eternity, and how the biblical figure Moses could fit into all of this. Before continuing, we also see the famous Flood Tablet, which preserves the earliest written version of the flood Myth.
Our journey then continues into the world of ancient Assyria, where monumental sculptures, royal city gates, and the famous lion hunt reliefs reveal power, symbolism, and imperial ambition.
Finally, we arrive to the Parthenon allowing us to discuss mythology, and religion.
Throughout the tour, the aim is to see ancient objects, through a clear explanation and engaging storytelling.
