Seal of the Ancient World.
Seals were the PIN code of the Ancient World.....
To secure a document written on clay, to make sure your amphora of grain had not been tampered with enroute to its destination or to make sure your store room hasn't been tampered with, seals were your signature and their artistic design spoke myriads about the culture of your time period and even more about you and what you believed in.
Imagine today if when you applied to the bank for your new PIN card that they required you to design the image on the front of it.....
What would you deign yours with?
The seals of the ancient world are art works inn miniature. These seals can be used on air dry clay, plasticine or whatever. Use it in your HISTORY class or your ART HISTORY class. Interactive pieces of art and history.
See our great new range of seals on our "Seals" page here.
How our Interactive products work.....
Interactive Archaeology Kits
We have a range of interactive Archaeology products that are ideal for the classroom and for Home-School situations. They allow the students to handle archaeology rather than just reading about the topic which then stimulates learning processes.
We have Archaeology Classroom Kits, in which the student excavates a faithfully reproduced piece of ancient pottery. Our replica pottery is made in Hebron by craftsmen who have made pottery for generations. See our "Pottery of the Ancient World Kit".
We have Artefact Handling Kits that are comprised of genuine artefacts allowing the students to physically "shake hands with the past...."
The students examine and research each item then prepare a classroom presentation based on what they have discovered.
Photo Usage.
We have a large range of images for use by publishers and production companies. If any images you find on our website are of interest or if you would like an image based on any category on this site why not contact us for information and pricing.
Please note: ALLL OUR IMAGES ARE COPYRIGHT until permission of release is given.

Why don't we have an ONLINE CHECKOUT?
Due to the nature of our business, we have chosen not to use an online check out. We do have access to one but due to the nature of our product range and varying shipping costs we have chosen not to use it. Let me give you an example. Our products vary in size and weight considerably, from a small papyrus kit to a weighty full size Rosetta Stone. We now ship all over the world, and hence the cost to ship such a huge range of varying products to a wide range of destinations is not a simple one. So what we have chosen to do is, to ship to you at the best possible price for your destination. Within Australia we use couriers as much as possible, but couriers can become expensive in certain areas and hence Australia Post becomes a better option. There are even some times when we deliver products in person. So to purchase an item or if you simply want to know the shipping costs, either use our contact page to send us your inquiry and we will get back to you with the best possible shipping costs. We can then invoice you using a regular invoicing system, that allows you to pay by credit card or Australia Post Money order, or in the case of Schools we do accept Business cheques. We can invoice you with Paypal which is a great secure way to pay with your credit card or we can send you the information to allow you to process your payment with your credit card via Stratapay. With Stratapay you simply phone your credit card information to their office (for the price of a local call within Australia) and we dispatch your goods as soon as the payment appears in our system.(Usually within two working days). You can phone your credit card information through to us and we process you shipment immediately. Products that are in stock are shipped immediately. International orders usually take 7-10 days.
If you have any queries about any of our products or payment methods give us a call:
