The Rude Awakening British Museum
Egyptian Kings and Queens once carefully prepared for the long sleep
The voyage that would take their other self to some distant paradise
Get the rude awakening in the window-case of a foreign museum
Exposed and exhibited to crowds as war trophies of a colonial war
There is no rest in peace for the vanquished…
