Whoever said that time travel is not possible is clearly not spending enough time at our favorite museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. One of the most interesting exhibits going on now through just after New Year's Day 2015 is Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age, which is an enthralling collection of ancient history, empire expansion, and the early business world!
Whom You Know first covered this exhibit here:
In essence, this is about connecting the two geographical locations and expanding their commercial reach-the Middle East to Spain. You'll see maps with names of regions that are familiar, but the name the place goes by has changed. Don't look for the words Italy or France!
Also, if you like Greek Mythology, this exhibit is absolutely up your alley.
Before there was the NYSE and FTSE, there were the waters of the Mediterranean.
You'll learn that a spout on a vessel indicates that it was a beer jug, and the strainer is intended to separate the brewing residue of unfiltered beer. We see that they were buried as a funeral gift and come from a tomb.
Actual walls from the time are included, and their texture and stories depicted are quite interesting.
Our stomach loudly applauded when we saw Byblos on the map of Venetian expansion in the Mediterranean...if your stomach can also read and appreciate fine cuisine that matches exhibits, go here after and tell our friends Sonia and Saba Peachy sent you!
We loved the cauldrons, especially with the lion attachments.
Imagine that as your punchbowl!
Very Halloweeny....
Go back in time, at The Met!
