If you love the ancient work, whether it be Isis knots and the sistrum instrument of ancient Egypt, or the Romans, the Etruscans and the Greeks, check out the AncientPeoples tumblr--it's got great images of tons of artifacts from all over.
Art is a great way to begin to learn about ancient cultures--they had a totally different point of view than people today, and their objects, jewelry, and personal belongings often show this.
The painting above is by Carlo Mancini [1829-1910], "Coucher de soleil sur les pyramides d'Egypt', from 1875.
