Classical Art link

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.
