Petra. What a beautiful place. I would love to go there sometime.

I've only seen pictures.

I got to go to Petra 25 years ago. Pretty incredible place.

Interesting.

I have wondered for years about the Venus de Milo and if it could ever be restored.

But then, would our perception of her beauty be changed? Is it her current state that makes it so fascinating?

Kinda like the old philosophy course question: would the rose be as beautiful if it did not have thorns?

Interesting. However, the fact that they found a thumb reminds me of a Monty Python bit where they found a huge toe and reconstructed it completely wrong - as the "trunk" of a big prehistoric mammoth.

I bet I can tell you where his head is stuck....

lol....with most Roman Emperors I'd agree however, Aurelius was a unique man holding an interesting position.

In the old "If you could meet anyone in history" question, I'd have to place him in the top 5.
