Egyptian Dreams

Styler78

The Rosetta stone was a "spoil of war". Taken back to England after the "British" defeated the French in Egypt all those years ago. Much detail omitted by me here, but it sets the scene.

Does anyone know what the FULL inventory of the items included (other than the Rosetta stone)? I am aware that the French were able to keep their written records, so i guess we are looking at statues, reliefs, scarabs, etc.

I hope to use the information as a study point. Try to find out where they are today (if this is indeed possible).

Thank you all,

Stuart

Interesting. These are some of the most impressive objects in the collection. Presumably the body of Nectanebo II never occupied this sarcophagus of his, since he fled towards Nubia from the invading Persians, and was never heard of again.
