The
ancient cultures of Asia go back to the beginning of man's
efforts to shape the world around him. Many of the artifacts they left
behind tell a fascinating story about the advancement of their
knowledge and skills. Some of these artifacts still hold secrets
that are not understood such as 3000 year old bronze swords
that do not corrode or super strong 4000 year old egg shell pottery .
The antiques and artifacts here are part of my own collection that was put together over a period of time. My fascination with the ancient world began early when I traveled with my family to far away places and visited museums in countries like Egypt and the capitals of Europe. I currently live in Asia and I am also the author of the book The Historical Cash Coins of Vietnam. |
