    Wink The Arc of Civilization

    I got this idea last night, as I was reading a sci-fi novel.

    So...

    Assuming the Earth is about to end, and scientists are planning to create a huge space-arc, with items/species/samples, etc, from the Earth, that need to be preserved.

    You are responsible for the cultural items. You must pick a few of the most important samples of human civilization, and put them in the arc so that future generations living in Space, can reconstruct them, or at least know of what was the human civilization on Earth.

    Which items would you pick? Name a few!

    Talking Eeeehrr...ok.

    They are so many that I don't know where to start.

    My items would be less modern than yours, since I'd like to see humanity reconstructed from earlier, more glorious (and less degenarate) times.

    I'd start with copis of all the epics: Homeric, Norse (sagas+eddas), the Kalevala, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Gilgamesh, etc....etc...

    I'd include sample marbles from the Parthenon and a photo the statue of Venus de Milo.

    The Antikethyra Mechanism. The Phaistos disc.

    The Viking ship from the Oslo museum.

    An egyptian sarcofagus and a scarab.

    Some Mayan+Aztec artifacts, propably.

    CDs of classical music: Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, etc.

    The recipe for salmiakki

    Photos of the Arno Breker statues.

    Celtic designs, and artifacts.

    A poster of Bettie Page

    Copy of Nietzsche's "Thus spoke Zarathustra".

    ...and the list goes on. More, later.
