Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
“Outstanding. Intelligent, articulate and friendly. You feel involved and inspired, not just led around. His British Museum tour is the only one you really need to do.”
“An in-depth look at the Museum highlights with lots of interesting anecdotes. Highly recommended.”
We’ll visit ancient Egypt and unlock the secrets of the Rosetta Stone and the gruesome process of mummification; marvel at the intricate details of Assyrian friezes, and be as impressed as our ancestors were with the beauty and dynamism of the sculptures from the Parthenon. We’ll also look at treasures from the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire – Sudan and Britain.
