My husband and I want to get there one day as well. We have to wait until the kids are out of the house though. I have been an art researcher for years so this was a fascinating read as well!

I hope that removing them to the National Archeological Museum will ensure that generations to come will be able to view them as we do today.

It must be absolutely amazing to visit there and in fact it must have quite a spooky feeling being there given the history that took place all those years ago. Any plans to go back? And did you find it quite affordable being there, or expensive. I'll get there one day for sure :) All the best Bill Webmaster, learnhowtobuildaodghouse.com <a href="http://www.learnhowtobuildaodghouse.com" rel="nofollow">How To Build A Dog House</a> Hi Phil,
