The Romans were masters at this. I really enjoy your posts, they are so educational! Archeology is fascinating.As a boy in the ‘60s, I read about ancient Egypt, and Howard Carter uncovering Tutankhamen’s tomb and all of the artifacts and of course, the gold funeral mask. As a college student in the ‘70s I toured “ The Treasures of King Tut” in Chicago- twice!
I stood less than 10 feet Tut’s wonderful Gold Mask, and the gold dagger, beautiful. The other dagger got a passing glance- who new it was made out of meteorite!
On of the high points of my life😀
Thanks telescope115.
