    Thanks for the delightful tour of the British Museum & Library! Despite the fact that many of these items were looted while Britain was exploiting the globe for hundreds of years, it is nevertheless impressive to see them being well-preserved and available to observe in central locations. But think I'll pass on the one worshipping a drunken war-mongering criminal who rescued communism from an impending death so it could survive to enslave a continent & cause many decades of turmoil & misery & death...Natural Sciences would have been a better choice to highlight. But a well-produced video, minus the usual political bias!
