Ok, yep, that's me. I asked someone passing to take my picture for reference to height of the figures. |
Yep, Me again! |
The following pictures are of King Sargon II.
You'll notice that they are all blurry (except for the last one)! No matter what I did.
Until...
I literally said out loud... "Oh come on, Sargon, please let me take your picture."
I guess you always have to ask permission from the king!
