Machu Picchu

The ancient South American people were bloodthirsty. There seems to have been, as in Egypt, s notion of an afterlife. There were mythological characters of fable who were probably considered contemporaries. There were lots of jugs.

The show is on at the Australian Museum so it's oriented twoard children. This didn't stop organisers including a stele with a vagina dentata, but this item was off to one side. The objects themselves are quite tame and amateurish compared to Egypitan analogues. Nevertheless it's a nice show. I'm not sure if it's still on or not, check the web.

I am glad I went. It's on til 23 February. I caught the bus and a train to get off at Museum Station.
