Nice one
Thanks. I hope everyone likes this one. This is my second teaser that made it through. Feels very strange to see froggygg's name as submitter!
I DONT GET IT. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT?
MTK: Sorry if I didn't explain this well enough - its only my second teaser. The body of Ramses II is on display at the Cairo Museum where it can be viewed or "seen" by the public.
Another word for the body of a deceased person is "remains".
Therefore, the "remains" (body of deceased Ramses II) is being "seen" (viewed) at the Cairo Museum.
Remains (body) to be Seen (viewed). Remains to be Seen. I hope this helps!

Very cerebral rebus. I had about as much chance of getting this as going to Egypt.. but I'm rebus challenged.. do these get easier with practice?Good job!
nice one froggygg, i didn't get it until you mentioned more of the answer in these comments.
You must be pretty smart
You must be pretty smart
zonahobo: I thought I had about as much of a chance at getting a teaser approved as going to Egypt! Yes, they do get easier the more of them you read and solve. When I first read a rebus, I just sat there thinking "Okay, what in the heck does that mean!" Now, I think I understand them! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked it.
cdrock: I'm going to add a little additional explanation at the end of the answer to help make it more clear. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked it. As I said in my comment above, it's only my second teaser so I'm new at this and still learning. I'd like to think that "I'm really smart" but LUCK has a lot to do with it, too!

im wid u mtk. im not dissing ur teaser froggy, im just sayin dat i dont really understand it. im sure if i did undeerstand it, it would have been a good teaser but i tried my best 2 but i just couldnt.
babybabe1: Think of it kind of like a funeral....at a funeral you see the body - usually have viewing before actual funeral. Ramses II is a mummy which is basically a dead body. Another word for a dead body is "remains". You would be viewing (seeing) a dead mummy (remains) at the museum. So, his "remains to be seen" were at the museum. I guess you could say you went to see a mummy's funeral in a way! Hope this helps.

Really good...
I (obviously) didn't think of the answer, but oh well! I agree that reading the comments was almost as fun as the teaser itself!
