Let me guess, this is going to be "evidence" that homosexuality has been accepted for longer than we have imagined, right? LOL

They're kidding with this nonsense, right? And undoubtedly at taxpayer expense.

An ancient bronze disc that looks a bit like a freckled smiley face The simplest explanation. It looks like a smiley face. Ergo, the first representation of the smiley face in history!

At least it's not American taxpayer expense!

I defy anyone to say that our rainbow theory is any less accurate than the prior theories.
Never have I heard a more logical and idiotic statement. I defy anyone to look at that disk and say my "dump in the woods" theory is any less accurate. As I get older, I'm torn between respect for pure scientific pursuits versus annoyance at how many people are making a living totally wasting their time.

Ergo, the first representation of the smiley face in history! But they didn't get it trademarked, losing out on some big bucks.
To: blam
I think it obviously is one of the following: Depicts phases and eclipses of the moon; Pac-man; Was Used for target practice; or Doodling. Take your pick.

Yes, this probably decorated the bumper on some chariot or wagon back then.
