Wow...classical art of that caliber is really ping-worthy!
I wanted to be an archeologist when I was a kid. Have always thought doing one of those vacation/archeological digs would be fun.

Very cool. It’s painful to imagine how much of this stuff has been destroyed. I would love to know what the Great Pyramid complex looked like when it was intact and being maintained.

between 13 and 16 feet in height Many of his engineering projects are still standing. He wouldn't have build a bridge to fall down in 40 years. He is probably the greatest civil engineer ever at least in terms of output.

No wonder he like Greece so well. Hadrian’s homosexual relationship with the Greek youth Antinous is well known through history and remains one of the defining parts of his reign. It is said that, while the two were on a tour of Egypt, Antinous fell off of a barge in the Nile and died. The loss of his young lover made Hadrian go insane and he immediately deified the youth and had cults developed to worship him. Hadrian also named some cities throughout the empire after him.

He is missing part of his nose... kinda sad.

Thanks, blam. This piece is very well preserved, indeed.

Wow, very cool! Beautiful job. Now, someone explain to me again why the ancients didn’t include pupils and iris’ in their otherwise perfect sculptures?
