Prehistory, pre-Roman and Roman civilization, Islamic archaeology
this well-endowed museum traces Morocco's history back to its
earliest origins.
It is moving
to see the flint hatchets and needles so patiently carved by Neanderthal
man, and what an array of tools there is to see! It is not hard
to imagine them in the hands of potters, surgeons, livestock breeders
or bakers... A little further, each step takes you to a new masterpiece:
the wonders of the Augustan era, "the Drunken Mule", the striking
realism of the "Guard dog of Volubilis" and the exquisite grace
of the "Ivy crowned Ephebus"...
