Many popular board games like Risk, Monopoly, and Clue date back to the land of ancient Mesopotamia. A British archeologist known as Charles Leonard Woolley found a board game that archeologists think is at least 4500 years old. There have been many subsequent findings since then, all offering proof that our distant ancestor’s also engaged in board games…from India to Egypt. Most ancient artifacts in the world are found in areas such as Library of Hadrian, Kerameikos, Acropolis, Agora, Olympieion, Southeast Athens, Pnyx, Roman Agora, Tower of the Winds, Arch of Hadrian, Athens and City Eleusinion.

In order to see the architect Li Pei’s glass pyramid you can take a bus tour that will take you through this and many other historical artifact sites. There are also many other major cities and less major towns that have their own old museums and supporting websites that you can research to find out more on historical subjects that you are interested in

Here’s a few helpful resources

• Museums of the world
• Museums of Mayo

For a visitor information sites have made it really easy to locate the museum nearest to you. You can find museum and exhibition listings, historical society/ genealogy sites, and locations easily by simple searching for it. I found a pretty good list here http://icom.museum/vlmp/world.html. I like to see the local museums and look at the local public art, it gives me a good idea of the cultural events that have occurred in the past.

Keep your Memories Intact

It would be nice to share your most cherished moments with family and friends. You can take steps to preserve them for your future family generations right now.

1. Create a brief text journal of all the imagery and collectibles that you have. The journal will give you a legend account of memories involving your collection.
2. Type your list into a simple program like Microsoft Word
3. Lightly brush the surface of each photo with a cotton pad
4. Scan each one and name each scan so each file name is related to your journal
5. Assemble all images in a paper based photo album (plastic scratches the surface)

Now you have a photo album collection that you can show people in digital form or in paper form. You also have images that you can send to anyone in the world by using the internet.
