Introduction · · · · · ·
From ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years BC to today, from Greece, Italy, France, Russia to China, we have drilled "wormholes" in art history and built passages in different time and space. The sculpture of the people's hero of ancient Athens appears at the north gate of Gongti Stadium.

You can smell the fragrance of body essential oils from the ancient Greek gymnasium directly to your gym... "The fun of researchers is to find those silent evidences that challenge the magic mirror, keep questioning it, and wait until it runs out of words, and then it will show you the wonders you don't want." "The Chinese in the Han Dynasty and the Etruscans in the 6th century BC, in the face of death, showed the image of a couple feasting, as if death was the almost inaudible touch of two old wine glasses.
