Chalkis, II

[system1988]

Hey all I am sending to you all the photos from the new Archaeological Museum of Chalkis of Greece which is housed in what used to be a factory for making ouzo drink. The theme might seem tiring to you and to some pointless, but we should not forget where our alphabets originated from.

Here is the link to the album

Enjoy!

Hi Alexias

I guess are the the symbols of Hercules, the bow and the lion s skin

PS The images and texts can be enlarged

Ah, I can see it now, thanks. I was confused because I thought it was a snake on the left.

I thought that too, after all Hercules is related to snakes , but i read the text .I didnt remember the bow as his symbol . i remember the club as his symbol .
