Viggen Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 How do you do a jig-saw puzzle of 27,000 pieces? In three dimensions? That's the task a handful of archaeologists in Germany have just completed. It took them nine years, with all the pieces laid out in a room the size of a football field. They claim to have enjoyed it. The pieces were the shards of 3,000-year-old sculptures, smashed to smithereens as a result of the British bombing of Berlin in November 1943. The result - 60 fantastical figures of people, scorpions, lions and birds - now stands in a series of rooms in the city's Pergamon Museum via http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-12308854 and http://www.moneycont...cts_516967.html link to the Tel Halaf Project http://www.tell-hala.../index_eng.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
