Was anyone home?
The Postal Service finally getting around to delivering their late mail?
It's been around for 7,000 years, and they are just finding it now?
This is the great thing about Free Republic!!
1) I wouldn't often find interesting stuff like this on my own.
2) Even if I did, I wouldn't really understand the significance (If any) of it. But, after reading through Freeper comments, I educate myself.
Thank you Freepers and Free Republic!!
This was a pretty interesting place to see. Xian soldiers. Underground terracotta warriors found by farmers digging a well.
"Another interesting find was a pot full of cooked water chestnuts. The archaeologists speculated that it might have been abandoned after a sudden disaster, such as a flood, fire, or an attack from wild animals or enemies."
Bush did it so he could award the rebuilding contract to Halliburton.
A closer look at what was found under the ground.
Imagine the back taxes they must owe.
Tell them we have their missing idiot they've been looking for -- he is john forbes kerry....and he's still running for president!
Also found in the Board of Zoning Appeals was a note that read:
"Dear Mr. Chang, we are pleased to finally approve the permit for the addition to your home you applied for three years ago. Enclosed is your OH MY GOD, WHAT'S THAT????"
Good post.
Sorry - couldn't help myself.
So THAT'S where I left it! I was searching all over my house! In my sofa, under my papers.....
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

This is another evidence to show that there were several cultures developing in ancient China. Three large river basins, those of Liao, Huang, and Yangtze nurtured many of these cultures. Then there was the "Caucasian" culture on Tarim basin.
Has anyone noticed that any ornate or unusual object is always given a religious or sacrificial purpose by the ache's? I think that this object was made by some one who just liked eagles and that it was a soup tureen for big parties.
