Yeah, the meet was loads of fun. More of you should be there next time
There was a hell of a lot more than just Egyptian stuff in the British Museum, Solver. But yeah, you missed out big time...
We didn't have time to go to Camden Town
But I did go to the British Museum -- twice...

Yeah, as I recall there were a number of Assyrian galleries that we didn't even enter. And we just breezed through the Archaemenid gallery. All in all they've got something like 14 acres of exhibits: you could spend a long time there.Comment

Its one of the best......

Ancient civilizations, Egypt especially, have always been a great interest of mine. That I really missed out big time.

Yes, you did. London and Berlin are must-visit cities for history buffs. (Though of course, visiting Egypt, Rome, Greece or whatever itself ranks even higher, but can be difficult/expensive).
And we missed a hell of a lot more than just the Assyrian section. Zop and I went back the next morning and I saw a LOT of new rooms I hadn't visited the day before. I've been to a lot of big museums but that museum is GIGANTIC!
And yes, Assyria and Philestine are two very different civs. But I already took over 100 pics of the BM, CoT. Looking for anything specific?

BTW, on September 6th there will be another Apolyton Meeting (where I will be attending as well), in Amsterdam this time. If anyone is interested, please go here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=87631Comment

I might actually consider the Amsterdam meet, let me think about it. Though it depends if I go on holiday beforehand, if I do I wont be able to afford Amsterdam as well.Comment
