विवरण

Spend the day exploring the world's most excellent museum with a qualified archaeologist. Bring out your inner Indiana Jones on a great day out for families, history buffs, and intellectually curious.
Follow in the footsteps of the great archaeologists, relic hunters, and explorers who acquired the treasures of the British Museum, and learn about their adventures and the hazards they braved to make their astounding discoveries.
Unlock the secrets of the British Museum's extraordinary collection with a qualified archaeologist, tracing humanity's journey from the Stone Age to the modern age. 

You'll get to grips with the history of human civilization, exploring our earliest origins in Africa, the first civilizations in Mesopotamia and the first cities, as well as the great empires of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and Rome, and what happened after they collapsed.
Along the way, you'll tour the British Museum's most famous galleries, including Ancient Egypt and Assyria, Ancient Greece and Rome, the Vikings, and the Aztecs, discovering world-famous artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon Marbles, the Sutton Hoo Helmet, and the Lewis Chessmen.
Then, join some fun and play one of the world's most ancient board games, The Royal Game of Ur, whose rules were deciphered by British Museum scholars.

After lunch, you'll find out how we know what we know in the second part of the tour. Hear about the geniuses who decoded ancient languages such as Egyptian hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform, the world's earliest written language.
Learn the basics in reading these writing systems and even get to try your hand at writing your name in Egyptian hieroglyphs. Look at some ancient languages that have not yet been deciphered and try to come up with ideas of how they might be translated.

Finally, learn about the science behind archaeology, finding out how ancient objects are dated, how ancient sites come to be buried in the first place, and puzzling over some of the mysteries of the ancient world that still elude us.
