On our recent trip to London we stayed in a hotel in Russell Square. That's also where the British Museum is located. While the British Museum is probably the world's greatest museum of human history, guess what it doesn't have...It doesn't have pictures. It has approximately eight million other cool things documenting our human story. |

One of the coolest is the Rosetta Stone. (No, this isn't a language school located in the lobby - It's the original Rosetta Stone.)
What is it? Dating back to 196 B.C., it holds the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs. Without it we wouldn't know about Cleopatra or Elizabeth Taylor.
