(21,946 posts)1. Thank you! Awesome is an understatement.
I enjoyed every picture.
I did notice though that the one labeled "eight sarcophagi containing mummies standing on a cliff side"
resembles the statues on Easter Island.

The cat and the manuscript cracked me up! The little drawings were very funny.
And the helmet of the Roman emporer--it's hard for me to imagine anyone wearing such a thing!
Thanks for these, packman. I will enjoying perusing them throughout the day.

I went on to see the 123 pictures. I was glued to my chair. It's amazing to think of past civilizations and how they lived. Thank you for this.
