Ancient Egypt buff! Yes, Amun-Ra wasn't an actual person but the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire. The Egyptians believed he created the whole universe. In the early days of their civilization, they worshipped him as two separate gods. Amun, god of air. And Ra, god of the Sun and light. When Amun became popular during the Empire/New Kingdom period, he fused with Ra.

The British archaeologists knew full well that people will destroy their own heritage, because they had the example of all the Dissolution of the Monasteries in England to look back to, and all the post-Tudor buildings built using stones "recovered" from those unwanted monastic buildings, which of course was just the British doing what peoples throughout history have done to obtain expensive building materials: nick them from unused and unwanted old buildings. I'm not sure what the German and French archaeologists were using as their justification, or why the return campaigners seem to ignore the "stolen" heritage in French and German museums. And they really don't want to know where Russian museums got their stuff from! Of course, all those archaeologists had eyes in their heads to see what the locals were doing with the heritage which today's campaigners claim was so desperately important to them back then that the locals weren't selling it to anyone with money, oh no, and more recently we got to see Islamic State destroying religious heritage across the lands they occupied just because it didn't fit into their specific view of their religion, which doesn't exactly help the arguments of "heritage must be returned to the land of origin regardless of the stability or corruptness of that land today". The whole thing's far too messy to be reasonably handled in the media, which is why it's all devolved down to "Give us back the things you stole from us when we sold them to you!" 😕

Though I am not that old, there was a 1935 film set in "Bloomsbury Station" a spoof of the Bulldog Drummnd stories starring Jack Hulbert called "Bulldog Jack" and it is clearly intimated it was supposed to be British Museum: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulldog_Jack It also starred Kay Wray famous for screaming her way through "King Kong" 2 years earler. By the way, in the late 1960s I used to have to use the Central Line every day, and I clearly remember if you looked out of the right hand window Westbound you could see the remains of the British Museum platform, including period adverts. Bulldog Jack is very dated and if you want to see a Bulldog Drummond I'd recommend the 1951 effort with Walter Pidgeon and Margaret Leighton

If You're a super familiar with all the small streets in Holborn, which most visitors will not be, it's easy to get lost. For me, Russel Square is a better and far nicer route. Easier to give directions for, Just left out the station, Diagonally across the quare, then to the end of Montague St, the Museum is in plain sight from there. It is a more scenic route and if Google is correct it takes one minute longer.

And possibly by the 'secret' citadel under it,(Used by General Eisenhower in the last war). So secret, in fact, it was part of the plot of the 1968 Doctor Who story, 'The Web Of Fear'. LU forbade the BBC to film on the underground, so the Doctor Who production team built extremely realistic sections of tube tunnels and platforms, modular, so they could be endlessly reconfigured. So realistic were they, that, after the story was broadcast, LU accused the BBC of breaking in at night, and filming. Not much remains of the original series, but it is wonderfully claustrophobic.

Hadn't realised that the plan to combine the two stations dated back as far as 1913. There's a possible mundane explanation for the noisy mummy, shared by other locations; late night tube maintenance men were worried to hear sounds of trains approaching or screeching wheels, but they then died away - they were on the nearby Post Office Railway that worked through the night. And wheel screech can transmit a long way down the tunnels anyway.

It is largely set in the abandoned British Museum station where a gang of thieves (lead by Ralph Richardson) have set up a base to allow them steal a necklace from the British Museum. There's rather a good fight in the Museum The climax of the film is a fight on a runaway underground train. It also stars King Kong's Fay Wray. I love the film but I'm not going to claim it as a masterpiece. It is, however, ESSENTIAL viewing for anyone interested in the London Underground

'Death Line', starring Donald Pleasance, was filmed not too far away from here, at Russell Square station :D

I used to pass the Museum on my motorbike heading to the LSE, so I always thought it was quite far from High Holborn. It's actually about 350 metres as the crow flies, which is eminently walkable. Another interesting thing learned from Jago. Thanks!

On the subject of hauntings by Egyptian Mummies, Great Yarmouth supposedly had one. It was apparently donated to a school round 1900 and sat in one of the science rooms, at least until it stunk the place out and the decision was made to bury the occupant in a nearby churchyard. Things were ok for a while until the stink returned and nearby residents to the churchyard reported knocks on their doors late at night (might've been a possible sighting). Upon checking the sarcophagus, turned out that one of the Mummy's hands was still in it and the said hand was reunited with it's owner.

When I went to the British Museum I took the tube to Russell Square around the back. So I managed to arrange a nice little walk through the park and an overpriced sandwich into the bargain.

Jago, does the Leslie Green-like structure in West Central St, just off the southern section of Museum St, have anything at all to do with the tube? I had always thought it the site of BM station till you lut me right on your video.

Brings back memories. I used to work in Victoria House around the corner. Many a happy pancake in my old Dutch and a pint in the princess Louise.

Alfred Hitchcock had an uncredited cameo in every one of his major films. Sometimes they were quite obvious, sometimes not so much. Just wondering if you made an uncredited cameo in this episode, hmmmm?

You will have to do a ‘Death Line’ video. Probably the best London Underground themed film 😁
