An ancient Chinese star map is going on display in the British Library.

Given that two of my passions are history and astronomy, I really wish I could see this thing in person. It tweaks my "somebody made this, who was he, what was his life like?" juices. Another recent event that gets me wondering is the discovery of a set of pipes, dating back four millennia. I wonder about the last tune played on them.. and how they came to be lost. Carelessly dropped? Forgotten when the piper moved on? Or just a relic, sitting in the corner until it was kicked into the midden.

Ah, to be able to read things by psychometry...
