Sorry about the MIA for almost a month. i was so happy to be home after that Libya working trip. Was a disaster and i realised that the place u wanted to be the most is always home. Although the shopping and outing is also quite important. Especially when something is banned in those country... which i wrote earlier here
during the 13 days of work vacation in Libya, i was lucky to visit this historical place. else, it'll be all work work work!

Ok ok not this so-so normal lookin' stele. Leptis Magna is actually a declared UNESCO World Heritage Site!
Standing in front of Septimius Severus Arch!
A prominent city of the Roman Empire! Leptis Magna~~
Forum of Septimius Severus

Lucius Septimius Severus is actually the emperor of Leptis. So he is the important guy who built all the things in Leptis Magna and made it the third most important city in Africa. (btw, Libya is situated in North Africa, facing the Mediterranean sea)
but all we can see now are ruins here, yet they are still amazing!

look how beautiful this arc is formed without any steel embedded inside. Imagine how people back in 3000 years ago (1100 BC) have the skills and knowledge to built these!
The fallen off head Medusa!
There are a lot of myths and historical facts for this ancient Roman city. but the weather is too hot that i cant focus on listening to the explanation of the tour guide. Pity him to keep talking about Leptis Magna throughout our whole 2 hours visit.
but actually he is paid to do that :P
The Theatre... the view is great up there!
But first, picture of the day. What was i sitting on?
haha... u'll be surprised!! Look how happy i am! check it out next time!!
