Thank God for the custodianship of the British Museum, Louvre, Turin, New York's Metropolitan...

As fiction's renegade Egyptologist writes in one of his blogs:

 "Feeling a surge of protectiveness, I suddenly - unreasonably, perhaps - wish that the British Museum were ten times its present size, along with the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Louvre, Berlin Neues Museum and Turin Museum.

And yet I like a great many Egyptians very much and I love the land of Egypt itself and its sites of antiquity and I value the feeling of place that connects me with the past. The Nile Valley is still the biggest and best museum of earth."
