We went up to London yesterday (Saturday) to see the Ramses II exhibition at Battersea Power Station, it was a glorious day albeit a little chilly at either end. I hadn't been to Battersea for years so it was good to see what they'd done to the old place, wow, what a stunning renovation! The power station has been converted into a up scale shopping mall and apartments, all very swish but retaining the original character of the industrial nature of the place.
The exhibition was pretty interesting, a collection of pieces relating to the Ramses II, the greatest pharaoh of them all (according to him) It was amazing to see his original coffin made of cedar wood (on the left of this collage) and jewelry belonging to his wife, how this stuff has lasted so long is incredible let alone the excellent state of preservation.
