Lew,
Thanks for sharing the pictures. How did they unearth an entire chariot? Was it dug in and stored underground as some kind of offering too? Olikara |

What a feast. I just do not understand why the East African warriors with thier huge spears are not seen in the same light as classical warriors. My kind of day out with a beer or two.

Nice job with the pics Lew. Photographing piece on exhibition is alway a difficult thing to do and these look pretty good.

Thanks Lew
great pictures, made even more difficult with all that plate glass ![]() Love the two Kopis ....surprised that there was no Khopesh amongst the Egyptian artefacts (both the Kopis and Khopesh are two of my favourite ancient weapons.) Regards David |

Thank you Lew, wonderful pictures!!! Let me say that it's a shame that the Monteleone chariot, a unique masterpiece of the Etruscan art, is not in its original land.... anyway... there is also an african and indonesian section in the MET? thanks again
Regards FLavio |
