In Search Of Ancient Astronomies
Jan 20, 2004, 19:01
Some among you may have heard about the Berliner Goldhut, the late Bronze Age golden hat with a lunar and solar calendar built on its sides; I live just round the corner from the place where it is being analyzed until it is back on display again in April. I still sit patiently.

Along with the Nebra disc of the night sky and the Goseck Ur-henge, it forms part of an almost ridiculously unbelievable triad of prehistoric thangs that makes sceptics, atheists, cynics and other breeds shake in fear. So far, research has never proved them fake. But not surprised when the state of education is so low. My German students had never even heard of those, and it has taken me some time to persuade them that these things are for real although their use will be debatable and open to speculation (and although Merlin probably never even existed). If only they stopped debating XXth c history for one minute or two... I am presenting it here, as usual, as it could be of certain value to Comparative Archaeology for those in Insular Research or for lovers of the stars.
