Greetings!
Today, I went to the Museum of Taxila Institute of Asian Civilization department. It is located in Quaid I azam university.
The entrance of the department is fascinating as there is a Buddhist stupa standing with all splendor among green plants and flowers.
I walked inside the museum with my friends. I was much more eager than anyone else because my other fellows aren't much interested in history and I forced them to go there. I am happy that my friends don't refuse to me and they accompanied me.
There were many figures from Taxila, which is very historical city in Pakistan with rich ancient civilization that is being studied in many institutions.
There were many statues and religious figures from Buddhism that depicted religion and also normal day to day life with daily life specimens. These figures were also demonstrating the life cycle of Buddha. It reminded me of my Lahore trip to Lahore Musuem in which there was a complete gallery on Buddhism where i got a chance to see fasting Buddha. I also Peshawar Museum that is biggest Museum of Ghandhara Civilization.
There were many different coins from 2nd to 5th century. It is amazing to see these gold and silver coins back from the pages of history.
The museum's owner should focus on labeling. They did wrong labeling. They labeled dancing girl as statue of man and dancing girl is labeled as "Man". Well, dancing girl is similar to modern day award shows.
In the next section, different type of pots, pitchers, some broken specimens were presented behind the glass. These things are ensembled from different sections of Pakistan.
These items are collected from the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The soil of Pakistan is very rich in everything. You name it, and you will get it.
In the picture above, you can see the burial site of Harappa Civilization that emerged in the region of Pakistan. I always want to see Harrapa and Mohenjo Darro, but i don't know when this dream will come true.
So man made so many tools. From igniting up fire with the help of rocks to making atom bombs and robots. But, all these tools and advancements in worsening the situation of mankind. We all become venoms, and we are thirsty of each other. We are thirsty for blood, and war is observed everything. Tools just destructed us. It was good for us to stay in caves.
There were many specimens and tools, including guns and knives that were displayed on the wall. See, greed has done so much to humankind that we became monsters and devil. Darkness is living within us.
Copy of broken pieces of ceramic materials were also kept in the museum. These copy materials are copied from Makli which is famous historical site in Pakistan. Graveyard of Makli is also in my travel bucketlist.
At last, i glanced on the ethnic dresses of the Taxila region and came out of the Musuem. I might have captured some more pictures, but my mobile's battery died.
See you next 💫
