very interesting. Thanks for posting this. In my young years, I wanted to be an archaeologist.

Inverted it appears to be the equivalent of an aluminum foil hat only made from gold because that is all they had at the time.

Probably belonged to an early proponent of “Invaders from the sea are coming” bronze age conspiracy theorist.

Back in that day and location, that would have been a very precious possession indeed.

It just dawned on me that, in the early 80’s I corresponded with one Rudy Dorneman about my interest in pursuing archaeology. At the time he was serving as curator for the Milwaukee Public Museum. (Somehow we are related by blood.)

My pursuits took me elsewhere, but this subject still holds interest. One thing that bugged me then, and still does, is how many assumptions must be made, or guesses, when dealing with ancient relics. Rudy since moved on to be Executive Director of the American Schools of Oriental Research. I drive a shuttle bus.

Didn’t much care for the lemonade there. Too much ice.

The “prehistory” discussion is cracking me up. First of all “3000 years ago” is only 1000 BC. Of course they had writing and recorded history... And before that oral back to the stone age. (which is now being discovered to be quite accurate metaphorically).

A true wonder. Is this perhaps similar to Urnfield culture “gold-hats”?
