These are the few pictures I took on Satuday 19th when I visited with
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
manzanitabob and Patrick (Carolina) the Museo de la Nación (Nation's Museum)...Here
manzanitabob in the entrace of the museum with her Gryffindor Quidditch Team T-Shirt.
Here being manzanitabob and me, again, outside the museum, and waiting for Patrick (Carolina) to show up...
Ok, so Patrick came shortly after and we started. Here the girls watching some artistic representations of the precolumbian cultures of the Coast Zone of Perú.
This is how peruvians (of course there was no Perú back then :P) lived like 14,000 years ago.
Here manzanitabob with a "cabeza clava" of the Chavin Culture. "Cabeza Clava" is a stone representation of people with feline features.
Here the "Lanzón Monolítico". Again Chavin. It's date is from 800 before Christ.
Here being Poro Poro I think. A huge painted rock from Calvario Mountain from the highlands of Chiclayo (north of Perú). You can see a person in the left corner below so you can see how huge is that rock.
'Tis being Patrick (Carolina) besides more of the sculted ceremonial rocks.
Now mummy heads!!!!
A representation of one of the tombs of The Lord of Sipan. The real one is still in the north of Perú in Chiclayo when there this beautiful museum about The Lord of Sipan. Haven't gone there because I am peniless and have no spare time. But all the ones who have gone have been awed... Now, The Lord of Sipan was a great lord of the Mochica culture (one of the coolest ones in MNSHO) who died and his funeral was huge fucking ceremony and they guy was buried with lots of bling and other goddamn awesome goodies. It was done in an ass-kicking sanctuary too in a magnicient event from 1700 years ago!
A piccie where you can see all the layers that the loaded guy was buried with.
Now more of Mochica, one of the most kick-ass precolumbian cultures of Perú. See, they were big pervs too? Aren't they awesome or what? Look how happy the little (or not so little) fella is. He's kind of making a "WOOT" expression.
Now, some ass-kicking Incan bling bling that was stolen but thankfully returned to us peruvians.
Cool, innit? Those guys were loaded!
Weeee. Little cute bling!
Now a couple of pictures of us in the elevator.

So, I am sorry I didn't take that many pictures... but our lives were to busy and we got to the museum a bit late. So we have to sort of rush through the museum and I preffered to awe at art rather than take that many pictures :P
I promise the other picspam of the other museum have more pictures!!!! So, stay tuned! More tomorrow!
And don't forget to visit the third part of my animal picspam that was private-locket instead of friends-locket.. but it is ok now!!!

Hm... what did I like best? The little "woot"-fella of course!
And luckily that the Lord of Sipan was already dead when they stuffed him in between all those layers. Would have been very unhealthy otherwise...
Yes, if the Lord of Sipan was not dead, sure it was after all that layering... smothered to death!
And is that a watcher buried in with the body that's sitting in the little alcove ? Oh My God ! That's horrible !
Museums are always free in Australia (if you're a jobless hippy like me that is) but we don't have Museum Day. That's awesome.
That said, the biggest heritage preservationist group in Australia (The National Trust) are having trouble affording their collection for lack of funding- they're having to sell off buildings to afford to pay for the ones they're keeping. Funny really- that's exactly what we're doing at my museum!
The Calvario rock, are those corn Gods or something like that ?
Bloody perv Mochico Aaargh *Scours eyes*
Is that a nose ornament, that semicircle thing ?
What's the green on the gold ?
Your friends are both of old Peruvian lines, isn't it ? Give them my hugZ !
Those are gods of agriculture but also fishing, so I guess some of them could be corn gods :P But mostly that rock was made on the coast, near the sea.
Mochica were right pervs! I only took a pic of the one little fella with the really big ammo :P But they also depicted sexual intercouse between people, between animals, between animals and people, etc, etc.
Yes, it is a nose ornament.
The green is jade.
Yes, they are sort of old peruvian lines but I don't think they can trace back their ancestry as well as purebloods :P
