RE: The Panagyurishte Treasure

in #history5 years ago

Now this is what I like with art posts in general that talk about the arts of pasts: many fotos (photos) of the item(s) in question, commentary on what it is and where it came from (which can be different from where it was found), the cultural significance of the object and how it has been treated thus far.

On the fotos (photos) side of things: I like how picture-perfect they are. From the crisp and clear details of which there are many to the lively Three-Dimensionality of the objects. Like I can stick my hand through the screen and treat these fotos (photos) as mere windows of time that caught a specific time and place of which we are left to feel the gaze of that time stare at us as we look at it. I especially like the foto (photo) and the timestamping of the antiquity discoverers. People like them putting in the hard effort to find and be able to help demystify the past one item at a time.

The commentary on the items in question: I love how this post can really get descriptive to how simple it can get. Of course with due cause and respect to the complexity of an object. If it was as complex as the items uncovered, then yeah I really loved the explanations of what people were seeing in the museum despite me being able to guess some of it (for which the rest I am thankful for the explanation). And then we get short and quippy statements like the last one with text of the inscription from King Kotis. Would've loved the inscription fotographed (photographed) and then revealing what was actually being stated; and even if it was untranslatable then seeing what was inscribed would be nice to see.

On the cultural significance of the items: I think this post did a great job explaining the culture that surrounded the discovery of these items (especially when they were compared to other objects and dated probably by a carbon test). I really got no quirks nor quips against this post other than maybe how it was formatted when talking about the history of items when put into context of the time. Not complaining it was done bad, just that everything here can be regimentalized and restructured so we can have it so we can talk of history and it being clearly denoted other than key words and a foto (photo) accompanying it.

On how it has been treated so far: I do like how you do discuss the net worth of the items and how they have replicas instead of the real deal on display. Good since art thieves are really a nuisance and can rob a culture of their good culture and what not. Sad we have to but glad we can even make replicas of such, showing very much how perfect we can recreate the past and never lose it even when we lose the originals...

So congratulations on the @curie upvote, keep on blogging and happy steeming!
