January 29/2010 :: Ashemoleon!

Day 7
Mood: Worn out...but not done yet!
Weather: Let's just say that Syd lost her snow-virginity today!


Another great day~ Went around with the roomies + Can1 (who is basically a roomie with how much time we all hang out!) We went to the City Center and to the Ashemoleon Museum, the oldest museum in Britain! There were so many things in there, we didn't get through it.

We also went for lunch and that was fun.

So here are some pics:

Egyptian artwork~

A neat statue from the Asian exhibit, I believe from the Tibetan section.

Shawabtis, servants for a dead pharaoh or other high status individual. They needed hundreds of them in the afterlife as servants to complete all the tasks needed to live everyday life. These ones come from various tombs over various generations and time periods.
