The Egyptian panel is a delight. And since this is ’09, this means that it’s still more than a decade before King Tut’s Tomb was found.
Also, it’s always illuminating when people say ‘during the war’ without having to name the exact war.
ETA – Egyptology was hugely fashionable in this era, iirc. The actual house that Downton Abby is filmed in is filled with Egyptian artifacts.
Eta2 – I think it started with Napoleon.
