And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Statue head of a woman New Kingdom ca. 1550 B.C. - 1070 B.C. Field museum, Chicago
To me this looks sort of modern - far more so than one would expect from something make 3500 years ago.
Am I the only person seeing Michael Jackson?
ReplyDeleteMichael after the whitening.
DeleteI knew it. MJ was a space alien because no one on this planet can be that kind of freak
ReplyDeleteI'm glade you saw it too.
DeleteDude.... dead on MJ.
ReplyDeleteThe Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has a large collection of Egyptian art, and a great deal of it, especially the busts, looks very modern.
ReplyDeleteIt is also very beautiful. The usual focus on the pyramids and temples misses the extraordinary beauty of many of the artifacts.
Humanity has come a long way since those times, but in many other ways we are just the same.
