    1. lol, the childlike instinct to find and old helmet and be like “Cool! I’m gonna put it on!”

      Edit: I found an article that says he isn’t actually the one who found it, but did a lot of work with it. Apparently this photo was only discovered somewhat recently, as for obvious reasons, it was not included with the official study photos.

      You can kinda see in this photo how the helmet design makes the wearer look formidable. I imagine there was a great fear component, seeing maybe 1,000+ of these guys lined up would be menacing.

      I never saw one with a person wearing it. Your seeing a tiny glimpse of ancient history come alive.

      Further proof that every one of those “cleaning up the house and finding [x, y, and z] and wearing them all at once” memes is 100% accurate

    7. “As you have no doubt noticed by now, Charles, your powers can no longer affect me.”

    8. Probably a question for the wrong sub but I’m going to ask anyways. Do these archaeologists make a good living off of their profession ? Or is it more for the love of the game?
