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.

  2. I knew it. MJ was a space alien because no one on this planet can be that kind of freak

  3. The 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.

    It is also very beautiful. The usual focus on the pyramids and temples misses the extraordinary beauty of many of the artifacts.

    1. Humanity has come a long way since those times, but in many other ways we are just the same.
