If it is not on tour, I think itis p inthe Philadelphia Museum.

Not onlyistheworkmanship stunning,butthe technology is too.

Example: They have a spear there with a socketed head for the shaft as opposed to a "hafted" shaft. The Egyptians were still using hafted weapons until the new kingdom era, I think.

You’re right. I love that museum. I went with my Pastor one time who could read the script on the replica of the Hammurabi stone. It was awesome.
