Incredible how these older cultures were so masterful at craftsmanship.

They also thought that they were the most important people in history.

Then they were gone.

Makes you think.

Where would a Scottish Viking come across a flamingo? Imported, me thinks. Great looking design, though. Maybe they could focus more on the pin than the narcissist holding it.

Nice, except the guy thinks he’s something. Wonder what 1000 years from now will be found? IPhone cases...with their pictures? Haha...pet peeve of mine...the “cloud”ing of life.

Makes me recall my next door neighbor. In the country that is half a mile away.

His name was Galloway and as good a neighbor as one could want. He is gone now but his kids use his house as a vacation house now.

Tell you what, the very FIRST thing I would have done was date the organics. :)

treasures found buried on church land = grave robbing.

Vikings were procurers of slaves they sold to the Muslims. I’d guess much of the hoard was booty confiscated by the religion of peace.

“Viking era” hoard begs the question. Buried by the Vikings or to keep it from them?
