Photo of the week #122 | National Museum - Sri Lanka
Hello Everyone, 😸
Today I'm going to show you some photos I took at the National Museum - Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has more than 2500 years history so National Museum is so big and It takes at least 2 weeks to study properly. It has artifacts from prehistoric periods to the present day. That is, there are artifacts as far back as 125000 BC. From the time the Portuguese came to Sri Lanka in 1505 AD, Sri Lanka faced European invasions until 1948. Therefore, there are artifacts used in Europe at that time. I studied history for higher education in 2018. In those days, I often visited the National Museum. Ok let's see what was there.🙈
This is "Kasthana Sword". This type of sword was used by elites to participate in ceremonies. These swords belong to the 19th century.
