Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II's treasures on display in UK for first time

From pharaohs to the pyramids, you might think you know it all about Ancient Egypt.

But some amazing treasures have just arrived in the UK from one of the most famous Egyptian kings, Ramses II.

The artefacts are more than 3,000 years old and are being displayed at London's NEON at Battersea Power Station, on loan from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Ramses II's time on the throne saw giant temples and structures built, including lots of statues of himself… yep, Ramses kind of liked being King. Some statues were as tall as the Angel of the North.

Nina went to meet historian Dan Snow to find out more, and got a tour of the artefacts from Eid Mertah, senior specialist at the Egyptian Museum.
