Description

This book tells how the valleys of two major rivers in the heart of the continent are opening and history thanks to the combined efforts of those who “remember” and those who “unearth”. Through the objects unearthed, most familiar as the rarest, slowly reveal lifestyles, beliefs and above a previously unknown art. The development of a clay sculpture, particularly complex and a technique of bronze casting lost wax present difficult of origin and timing problems. Although they are far from being resolved, there arise the civilization of potters and blacksmiths at the dawn of our era to flourish in medieval times and then go out slowly with the propagators of the faith of the Prophet .
