Day 5

We started day at Carnegie Museum and looked at many exhibits the most interesting one was the one on Arabia. They had a sculpture of a horse that looked like it had a bridle. Horses had not been domesticated at the time the sculpture was made.I would have taken picture but it was not allowed.
What does this mean?
It may mean nothing. It could have been a flaw in the sculpture. It could of been something the carver observed but was not man made like a bridle.
It might mean that there needs to be more research to see if there are other artifacts that confirm that horses had been domestiacted be it writing art or whatever.  History can change when more information is found but one carving nomatter how much it seems to tell a new story is not proof of anything it must be confirmed with other artifacts and the Arabian story is just starting to be discovered there is a lot of work still to do and maybe history will be changed or not but it will be interesting what we can learn about Arabia.

 Next we went to Phipps Conservatory. It mixed plants from around the world with glass.
The glass is beautiful and fits in nicely with the flowers.
It showed the versatility of glass and the beauty.  The glas is brightly colored like the flowers and can evoke emotion like flowers. A Mammoth made out of glass had been added this year watch video to see how it was done. Not only did they have flowers and animals in glass but they had vases and humanlike forms. It was very interesting to see the meshing of nature and manmade beauty.
