Ancient cultures : Miscellaneous

Well i hope you have enjoyed viewing a sneak peak at the past. Just seeing these artifacts first-hand really makes you stop and go WOW, makes you think of how much time has really gone past, makes it all real instead of just something you hear about.


I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and i'm now planning a trip to the Austalian Museum in Sydney to view their visiting exhibition of Ancient Egypt!


You can bet there will be more amazing ancient cultural images to come soon!

I'll end this series with a few miscelaneous artifacts that were not housed in their categories as they are new aquisitions to the Museum of Ancient Cultures.

I won't try to guess which civilisation they came from, though some i think i am fairly close...

enjoy :)



Tiny little trinkets.. so cute.

I'm not sure what these are, but i think they are little game counters or some form of currency , and they have tiny but very detailed little etchings on them that i couldn't photograph to show you. If you look very hard you can make out something on a couple of them.
a detailed little plaque


Giddy Up!



This is a small section of a pillar that stood about 2 meters tall. Its a prism shape and the etchings are on all sides.
