Exhibitionism at the Exhibition

So i went to the 'Kuwait Archeology' exhibition yesterday,
(thanks to mimi j for coming with!)
and i have some piccccccccturessssssssssssssssss
(my vaio's back, baby!!!!):

................................................................................................................

Remember this? Here's the inscription to it:















Remember this as well?
The figurine of Hercules that i wondered if they would ever show?
(Greek god + Naked + a government institution = disaster, right?)
Well, they showed it.
In its full glory.
How fantastically progressive of us
*yawn*













Finally,
remember this?

Yeah well it looked much better yesterday.
Remember how i was called in about three weeks ago to fix this?
Ladies and gents,
this is it fixed.



This and another piece were the 'fakkhar' that i worked on, which is super cool.



................................................................................................................
The items on display are super cool, and you forget that you live on a land that has provided evidence from:

-The Modern Stone Age (8000-5000BC)
-Al Ubeid Period end of 6th- mid 4th millenium BC)
-The Bronze Age (2200-1100BC)
-Hellenistic Period (330-150 BC)
-Islamic Age (everything from Abbasid to Umayyad periods)

Cool, huh?

Then go.

Hell,
i'll even meet you there,
just comment on here if you ever want to pass by
(during work hours are cool, too!) lol.

Until then,
-me
