Only one hint, this time: It was donated to the British Museum in 1805, by an ancestor of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, the second Earl Spencer.

I was close…
Interesting but I am more interested in the Rome articles in your spotlight,, especially 7 hills. I am going to add your links yo my site now.
Yeah, I was close too, but no cigar. (Although what I’d do with one, I have no idea — don’t smoke!)
Carved Stone or Precious Metals, which has more proof of the Ancient past? South American Metals to the Hittite area? I need a vodka thinking about it.
Martha, – I agree with you (except I find the sewers more interesting), but it is hard to find new, not too esoteric Greco-Roman topics as well as suitable photos for WW.
The closest I’ve come yet as I at least recognized the origins of the the language though not necessarily the specifics. Then ten commandments crossed my mind humorously

Moses himself surely would have understood both having been raised as a prince in the royal court. Besides allof which my concept of God is non denominational

I had no idea what it was, other than Egyptian. I lose.
I had no idea of specifics, but it reminded me of a basalt hieroglyph carving at the Dallas Museum of Art.
