    So I finally found a way to log in, but now I can't find the "log-out" option. 😕

    I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Right from the beginning, it had a certain modern day political vibe to it. Subtle messages throughout. Those were done well, but overall not a good production - my opinion anyway.

    This mini series begins tomorrow night, April 2nd, at 9pm, on our PBS station. According to this link, it was made in 2023. Perhaps others have watched it already. Looks like it might be interesting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30272530/

    Thanks for the reply.

    I wasn't sure in which forum to post this but I'll try here. On a travel forum I frequent, someone posting in a thread about the Super Bowl ads asked: "Wonder to what extent (and how) ancient sporting events were tied to commercial interests? Ancient Greek Olympics? Ancient Mayan handball tournament rituals? Gladiators in the Colosseum and elsewhere? " 😊

    First I've ever heard of the Draco. So interesting, great video demonstrating the sound.

    Amazing. I have two old photos of Rome, one of the Colosseum and a very large one of the Forum.

    I don't remember ever seeing clothing depicted so well in a cave or rock painting. And they're wearing pants! at least it looks like some type of leggings.

    I was wondering why ancient cave painters, who drew and painted wonderful depictions of animals some so life-like, why did they not do portraits of themselves or others? I've seen the simple stick figures, but given how artistic some people were why not create a likeness of oneself, or tribal member?

    I especially enjoyed the image of the tombs on either side of the Appian Way. I've always tried to imagine what it would look like in ancient times. Very interesting to hear that there were actually make-shift houses and shops between the tombs? stables? Is the narrator using creative license or is this written somewhere?

    This is amazing.
  20. Crispina
    Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
  21. Crispina
    Yes, thanks for sharing. I'm always fascinated by finds like this.
  22. Crispina
    Interesting.

    I wonder what the plaque says.

    I watched all but 10min. of the first video and found it very interesting and informative. The fact that there was that much restoration of antique pieces was enlightening. You see, I have always wondered how magnificent sculptures just happened to be found buried in the ground. Why were they abandoned (unless buried by lava of course) and not ruined by earthquakes and plunder. I guess I'm naive. ha But now I understand. These pieces in the collections were displayed as art, not antiquities. But did I also hear that many of the sculptures were restored in ancient times as well?

    Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
