In the light of overall protection and utilization of the historical remains of HYM, we invited two experts Fabio·Iemmi and Ginmario Finadri to take the picture of the whole HYM from the top of Empress' mound and the roof of archaeology exhibition hall. These photographic documents were taken to Italy for specific production before handing over to HYM, and we had made it clear that the photographic documents shall not be used for other purposes.
