What will you learn
- In no case can one pass by any artifacts in the British Museum and what is their value. Legends about the crystal skull and statue from Easter Island, Maya and Aztecs, figurines from the Isle of Lewis and the helmet of King Redwold will come to life in front of you.
- Who and how could decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and what secrets are hidden in the depths of the pyramids. Let's talk about the miracles of embalming, the curse of Tutankhamun and how cats killed the ancient Egyptians.
- What cultural phenomena we inherited from the ancient Sumerians. Where did the legend of the Tower of Babel come from, how did Eve actually tempt Adam and who prayed in the Sumerian temples instead of them.
- How the British Museum became a citadel of ancient civilizations and who had a hand in it. I will tell you what museum curators are doing today and share the secrets of the second most visited museum in the world.
And in another 1.5 hours, you will hear three detective stories of the British Museum (not without Scotland Yard, of course), which I happened to witness, learn how Elvis Presley sounds in the Sumerian language, and practice ancient cuneiform.
