Somewhere in Time
While I must recognize that the name with which I have baptized this blog section sound like the title of a romantic film or novel, you don’t have to expect that I will confess here my unspeakable sins and passions. This is only for my injured conscience and some of my corny poems and stories.
The leit motiv from this part of Hannibal’s Dream is to create a sort of Travel Agency to the past. We will visit here archaeological sites in their current state, with the excuse of dealing with one or other aspects of the past: we will make a tour not only around monuments discovered a long time ago, but where we will see as well new sites where new project are being carried out.
That is to say, a kaleidoscope of the present past, with announcements about nostalgic sites and new places that seek to find (or recover) their echo in this busy era of information.
In this odd visual and textual time machine, we will seek the remains that for certain human or natural misfortunes have been sealed so that, thanks to the help of archaeologists and other experts in the historical sciences, we can know some of their secrets.
But be careful and hold tight where you can, because this time machine seems a Tardis[1] so it won’t be a quiet walk to a certain time in the history of mankind, but a chaotic, continuous and unpredictable leap towards "Somewhere in time."
