Quote:What and where?At the risk of having to dig out another photo, ... it's the Temple at Garni in Armenia, which is virtually unheard-of in the west. Wiki says it was a Temple of Mithra(s), which I find rather unlikely! :dizzy: What do you think? Edit: While I was pondering, Ioannis got there first! Well done, Ioannis.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

Agrigento isn't located on the territory of the former USSR. :wink: Quote:Wiki says it was a Temple of Mithra(s), which I find rather unlikely! :dizzy: What do you think? It seems to be the traditional point of view. I would need to check out the sources to see what are the arguments supporting that view. Quote:Garni temple, Armenia Over to you, Ioannis.

Sometimes we are lucky and colors are preserved on ancient monuments. Like in this nice case. Where is it from, what time, and where is it now?

Well, it's a Relief, depicts somewhere Eastern or African, and Green. That narrows it down.
Is that a Sheep?
