Roots Of Knowledge Panel J3
Description
At the base of the reproduction of Carl Bloch’s painting are small tokens and mementos related to antiquity. Among these are the Delphic Hymns, musical compositions from ancient Greece, dating between 138 and 128 BCE and regarded as the earliest known examples of notated music in the Western World; hypocaust fragments, crafted by the Romans for a system below floors to heat houses and baths; and the strategy board game of oware, invented in West Africa.
