Description:
|
In the spirit and fright of the
season, we conclude Brown Bag's
Halloween nod, with a trip to sky
tombs. Hey its scary enough visiting a
grave, but hanging in the air?
Brown Bag, 10/25/17
Nova:"Secrets of the Sky Tombs"
Wednesday, 12:15PM
Naomi Lane, Free
Unearth the archaeological mysteries
hidden in the caves of the Himalayas
with the crew of NOVA. The towering
Himalayas were among the last places
on Earth that humanity settled.
Scaling sheer cliff sides, a team of
daring scientists hunts for clues to
how ancient people found their way
into this forbidding landscape and
adapted to survive the high altitude.
They discover rock-cut tombs filled
with human bones and enigmatic
artifacts, including gold masks and
Chinese silk dating back thousands of
years, and piece together evidence of
strange rituals and beliefs designed
to ward off the restless spirits of
the dead. NOVA (60 min)
Bring your lunch; the Library provides
coffee and cookies.
