On my trip to London a number of years ago, on of my highlights was to see the original Rosetta Stone on display at the British Museum. Now if the Brits would only return the Elgin Marbles back to the Greeks from whom they were really stolen

[Little Ray]

Lord Elgin bought the Elgin marbles from the owners at that time. If he hadn’t they have been destroyed by now. The belong to the British.

The new Parthenon Museum is open. It is absolutly stunning.

Most people do not realize Elgin did not have time to steal all the marbles and almost have of the original freeze is still in Greece.

The new museum recreates the ENTIRE story. The parts held in british custody are left white. The white parts are missing. It is an absolutly stunning. The museum has a three story glass wall looking upon the parthenon.

The museum itself was voted state of the art for the presentation of the scuptures take by elgin to decorate his house.
