      5000 armchair historians on their way to assert it was unquestionably for knitting gloves, despite many of them being too small for that purpose and also a lot of them found in warm areas

      I know what that is. let me tell u.

      first, you put animal skin on it and stitch it perfectly so it becomes spherical.

      then you gather 22 people, where only 2 people are allowed to use their full body and the other 20 are disallowed from using their hands.

      you split them in teams of 2, 11 and 11 on both sides.

      the n you kick the thing, until you put it into a net which is guarded by one of the people who can use his full body.

      you should also ensure that all of these 22 selected people are tremendous actors, so that they can sell it to the public that the thing they’re doing is very fun.

      Et viola! you have created the greatest, most watched sport on the planet! and that is why they didn’t write what it was. Because it was actually obvious

      When in doubt, just label it ‘Religious Significance’ and call it a day.

      Can’t wait for archeologists in 2000 years to wonder what fucking eggs we used in our recipes

      I can’t believe I actually need to type this out.

      It’s obviously a prime chaotic resonator.

      “Everybody knows about the great deeds of fabius randimus, so we dont need to write them down here” – every roman source ever

      My favorite theory is these were a method of demonstrating the Platonic Solids in a classroom setting such as they were at the time, in the same way a globe or rubix cube would be common in a modern classroom.

      It’s been claimed that particular object was used to knit the thumbs on gloves

      I just wonder how many of those things are in today’s world?

      But even those things have documentation.

      Like, everything is recorded because everything that is made is made in factories and they have to keep notes on how they do that shit.

      My theory is that it’s actually just a souvenir that was popular at the time… or some random guy decided to make some crap and scatter it around the Mediterranean to make fun of future archaeologists.

      Wasn’t that proven to be a weaving aid (shown near identical thingamabob used to weave)

      Its obviously an item you put on a post and tie cloth too to make a tent…..

      Well let me tell you kind stranger of the internet.

      Oh wait a second. Someone knocked at the door. Weird, I live in the woods, to hide from the true powers that move the world. But I am a gentleman. So stay here, I shall tell you how this could change our world.

      Be right back in a second.

      I was always a fan of the idea of “it was just some way for craftsmen to show off their skill”.

      Its a torture device

      Don’t believe me? Shove one up your butt and then tell me again its not

      Fun fact: Archeologists really wonderd a long time about these things, until some women who knit solved it:

      it literally is for knitting clothes. The wool or thread is wired around those beads and then you swirl it around like a magic cube between your fingers to weeve them together. Mostly for personal use, which is why it was most commonly found in regions that were mostly agricultural back then.
