Wordless Wednesday - Anubis

A statue of the ancient Egyptian god of the dead, Anubis, passes under London's Tower Bridge to herald the opening of an exhibition of artefacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun.

I would have loved to see this exhibit!

It's a great sight eh! I'm looking forward to visiting the exhibition myself. I remember seeing the last King Tutenkhamun exhibition in the 70s. I can't wait!
