Day Two

(Click on a picture to get the full size version.)



The Lower Egyptian room of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology.


Sepdet, giving a tour of the Egyptian rooms to the backs of a lot of heads--err, people.


Sepdet points out a very ancient typo. So much for white-out.


Statue of Sakhmet, Egyptian goddess of...well, protecting Egypt. Or something. Sepdet, please don't kill me for forgetting. :blankstare:


A mural of Buddha and assorted compatriots in the Chinese exhibit at the Penn. Museum. Also included, a nice picture of the back of LinguistApprentice's head!


Gold statues of Buddha from the Chinese exhibit. There's also someone's arm in the picture, but I can't tell whose it is.


Alaskan totem poles. Whee.


Interior of the Mayan exhibit at the Penn. Museum.


Official cracked Mayan altar stone. Mmm, sacrifices. :blankstare:


Ooh, lookie! A Mayan stone pillar...thingie!


A Greek statue from the not-so-forbidden Greek Room.


Spiffy (if slighly cracked) Greek mural from the Greek Room.


A portion of a Mayan altar. Creepy.


Contemplative copper statue of (I think) Buddha near the doors to the museum's auditorium. Also included as a special bonus, this picture only: lonelyto25 taking a picture of (of all things) the chandelier!


lonelyto25 interprets the statue's pose in his own, unique way.


Wooden idol from the Marquesas found in the hallway near the museum's cafe.


The conclusion to the search for MPaans after he disappeared from the museum. From left to right: My mother, watching the security guard leave, Erithan, and Lord Hydronium, with his head being eaten by one of those mysterious glowing things.


Really big statue of Ben Franklin in the entryway to the Franklin Institute.


M'lah and Riven-chan, hanging out by the strange thing that seems to serve no obvious purpose in the Architecture section of the Franklin.


M'lah hangs out on the thingie-with-no-purpose.


Anna Catherine, observing the ceiling through the Stoneship-wannabe telescope at the Franklin.


SR388 and Scraper debate the finer points of buying hoardes of penguins to bombard RAWA with.


Alahmnat gives the air pump/bouncy ball exhibit a try while Salar (left) and Riven-chan (far right) look on.


Riven-chan takes a turn at the exhibit-with-no-real-educational-value.


lonely takes a picture (surprise) while Fahrmboy looks strangely contemplative.


Back at the hotel, lonely holds an interesting conversation with himself.
