Unfortunately that area is perhaps the most war torn region in history. Since the dawn of civilization armies from various peoples have fought over it or moved through it.

I’ll bet a few Nazi Germany helmets can be found in some basements and dens in the US.😁

The helmet has a padded interior made of fabric or leather to protect the warrior’s skull. I'm guessing that was rich Corinthian leather.

The Pontic Steppe is where empires and entire peoples have invaded, fled from, and died in. It is rich farmland and pasture worth fighting over. It is the birthplace of the European people.

I’d like to have a 1975 model with the cream coloured exterior and burgundy interior.

I wonder if Vlad “the bad” Putin considered that in his famous historical speech the other night.
Greeks where the very first outsiders to have entered that area.
Not much is known about it before.

I recall someone having an ancient Greek helmet on their fireplace mantel. Showing off the rusty item a friend said “that’s not a helmet, it’s a headlight housing of a Ford Model A.”

In antiquity, when a warrior died his helmets would be buried next to him.

Great, now Putin will claim Greece is a breakaway province of Mother Russia and invade to seize the Strategic Ouzo Reserve.
