Discovery of the silk painting -- though fragmentary -- was one of great significance because it was the first one ever found to depict horses, which were close friends of the nomadic Khitans, and gave hints on the life of the nomadic clan, he added.Reminds me of an earlier discussion of the role of horses in Scythian and Celtic culture--hmmm. . .

Might have been Joan River's first bra.

1,000 year old bra? Are they sure Helen Thomas wasn't in there ahead of them?

Perhaps it is merely an ancient Khitan torturing device. The human rights group Handynasty International is sure to be displeased.

Re #6
they refused to accommodate her. They took it as grave insult.

Helen Thomas wears a bra? I could have sworn at that last press conference she was wearing a halter...
... a bit, saddle and judging from the unusually sour expression on her feedbag, I mean, her face, she may have had a crupper on as well.

It's a pity most of the cotton padding in the cups already decayed. Not just any bra, but falsies !!

It is an ancient torture device.
They would put it on the head of captured enemy soldiers and draw pictures of them.

Could be, Joan Rivers is considered a torture device, so this makes sense!

HOHHOT, June 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese archeologists have announced their recent discovery of a fragmented silk painting and a brassiere in tombs at least 1,000 years old. Anyone else think it's entirely fitting that a 1000 year old silk brassiere would be found in HOHHOT?

(1,000 year-old golden brassiere) No photos yet but it does appear that a movie was made about this subject:
also I went to the Chinese website looking for the photo. Trust me, you don't even want to see pictures.
I didn't find them but I did see headlines for other recent photos:

Restaurant fined for offering body sushi
