Robert’s Time Capsule: Chronicles of Prussiania, cont.
Prussiania was an imaginary country that Robert and some of his friends concocted when they were Muser age (decades before Muse, alas). You can read more about it on the previous Time Capsule thread.
Now, rarity of rarities, Prussianian records are starting to come to light. Here are a couple that Robert found in one of his old school notebooks:
Robert writes:
These line drawings illustrate episodes from the epic cycle of Petrogalar the Barbarian. At left, note the Prussianian national instrument, the vanalya, a one-stringed lyre. Prussianian art seems to have borrowed conventions from either ancient Egyptian or Mesoamerican wall painting, possibly both.
I drew a lot of armadillos in those days (Prussiania, you may remember, was swarming with them). I played a lot of chess, too. This doodle combined them both. My World History notebook contained about 50% notes and 50% doodles.
