The museum(Again?)

This time I'm talking about another museum.. not my visit to the Royal Ontario Museum vist ,which i talked about in this post HERE..
It is about Tripoli Museum (Elsaray Elhamra or the Red Palace) ,which i had the opportunity to visit a while ago when i visited Tripoli for the traditional Libyan Official Papers Chase Bureaucracy..sigh.
Anyway ,a few people-even among Libyans- appreciate how rich our history is..
Many cultures rose and fell in our country..From prehistoric stone age to modern days..
Libya is said to have the largest collection of Roman Empire remains out side Italy.
There is also the Greek remains,the mysterious desert cultures (Ghadamis is a good example) ,Early ancient churches which are said to be built only few years after the birth of Christianity.
Anyway ,i am not really qualified to discuss the charming history of Libya..But here is some of the pictures i took that day ,without me interfering much with my smart comments...
Enjoy.
