BBC History of the World in Objects Screenshot

A screenshot of the page containing the True Lover's Knot, which was accepted following review by the BBC A History of the World in 100 Objects. The "Knot" also appears in their Flash timeline, by scrolling along the vertical bar on that page to 1801.

BBC History of the World Submission

I submitted the True Lover's Knot to the UK's BBC Channel 4 Radio program "A History of the World in 100 Objects." The show details human history via objects in The British Museum's collections. They have been reviewing objects which listeners can voluntarily submit, and which relate to the concept. I've been downloading the podcasts of the show via iTunes, and it's fascinating.

I'm happy to say The True Lover's Knot was accepted following a confirmation email, transcribed below, received today!

"Congratulations. You've made history. Your object is now part of A History of the World."
