Nordic Archaeology: The Nebra Sky Disc By Brian Simpson
In 1999 two treasure hunters in a small town in East Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt, discovered a small disc which has the earlies known depiction of the cosmos, with images of the sun, a crescent moon, and 32 stars. This first depiction of the cosmos was not from the Middle East, the so-called cradle of civilisation for establishment archaeology, but on a hill called Mittelberg, near the town of Nebra. The disc was adequate for predicting moon phases for bronze age people, and is regarded as one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century.
It is further evidence that Northern Europeans in prehistory were not the savage barbarians that the establishment like to depict them as.
The disc contains gold all the way from Cornwall:

Some think that the disc is younger, dating from the Iron Age, but even so, it is still a remarkable discovery;
