Leptis Magna - Libya (II)

remember this photo i posted earlier?

check out the expression!! haha

anyway, u are right! this is the ancient "si hang" for the Romans! aka TOILET BOWL / 马桶 !!!


The hole in the middle is for u to sit on it and then do your business! but isn't it a little too small? what if somebody's "ekhem" is too big or he missed?? ok ok try not to think about if further else it will disgust everyone!

but it looks so much better than the ancient china dig a hole on the ground toilet bowl u see in the TVB series! haha ^^
















These Romans are very developed in their sanitary facilities. Imagine 3,000 years ago they already invented high class toilet bowl, and also not forgetting

THIS

and THESE

they call it, stim bath / sweat bath. aka jacuzzi in modern description.


see how lavish their life during the ancient time.

Moving forward, u will see fine carving on the columns. which u think are normal carving.

but... look at them carefully. the column on the left shows the growth of zigot, embrio, fetus... which means a BABY in the mother's stomach. whilst the column on the right shows the growth of a baby to man. where eventually it will turn to the guy standing on the right end (our tour guide!) bwahaha... just a coincidence that he was standing right there when i took the photo! ;P


more rocks (market place)... where they have their own standard measurements of length, weight for the business (that time they don't have SI units like kg , m etc.)


i think i've seen enough of rocks and fallen sculptures from this place. not to mention that the whole visit lasted for 2 hours between 10pm-12pm. which cause us to melt down and sunburn after the visit.

i shall end this entry with more great pictures.

At the top of the theater! the sky and the sea is so beautiful and the scenery is superb!


it is so great to be here. at least not for the work. just the visit (this tourist spot is basically empty, without any crowds and bunch of tourists)

Lets hope that i do not need to go back to this place anymore! haha!
