Our AI hosts are "cracking open" the Cyrus Cylinder! 
This ancient Babylonian artifact isn't just a dusty relic – it's Cyrus the Great's personal PR campaign! 
Hear how he spun his conquest as divine will (thanks, Marduk! 
) and positioned himself as a liberator. 
We'll unpack the propaganda, the religious tolerance (a bit ahead of its time!), and why it's a symbol of human rights today... even if that wasn't the plan. 
There's even a copy at the UN! 
Tune in for a trip back to the Achaemenid Empire! #CyrusTheGreat #CyrusCylinder #AncientHistory #PersianEmpire #Archaeology #BritishMuseum #Podcast #HistoryPodcast #Mesopotamia #Babylon #HumanRights #Propaganda #AncientText #AI #DigitalHumanities
Well they didn't have plastic then Adrian, sorry the Past isn't exciting enough for you and your tiny imagination.
Some of us see a clay tablet from thousands of years ago, making a complaint about shoddy copper and feel so alive and part of Humanity.
You however, as the husband of one of the Guardian editors or something (I heard) whine that ancient pots aren't 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' enough for you....
British clown. (57)

It's not often that you see Delia Derbyshire personally credited by the BBC but this excellent short series of documentaries narrated by Eric Porter made to coincide with the British Museum's 1972 Tutankhamun exhibition is one of the exceptions.

"It is a sprawling, chaotic reflection of Britain’s psyche over 300 years: its voracious curiosity and cultural relativism; its pugnacious superiority complex; its restless seafaring and trading; its cruel imperial enrichment; its brilliant scholarship, its brutality, its idealism, its postcolonial anxiety." —Charlotte Higgins for The Guardian
Went to the place full of stolen stuff and Victorian era fakes. A really shitty example of humanity tbh. For a country that treated its poor thieves so harshly it certainly champions it's rich ones #BritishMuseum
"Can the #BritishMuseum emerge from the crisis? Can it recover internal morale, get back the missing objects, reframe itself as something other than the #museum that stole its contents?
The curatorial staff are not made up of pith-helmeted imperialists, but internal conversations about #decolonisation are not heard publicly, staffers fear speaking out. A trustee told me: “The museum is like a volcano with a thick crust of solidified lava on the top—the senior management.”

Interesting read on the depth and breadth of the British Museum's collections as well as how it's slow museum-time lurch might not enable it to keep up with real-world time.
"It is a sprawling, chaotic reflection of Britain’s psyche over 300 years: its voracious curiosity and cultural relativism; its pugnacious superiority complex; its restless seafaring and trading; its cruel imperial enrichment; its brilliant scholarship, its brutality, its idealism, its postcolonial anxiety. All of this is expressed through the amassing of objects: a demented accumulation, a mania for hoarding that, in any human, would be regarded as a kind of illness."
