March 26, 20251 yr The rich Melonsby Hoard of iron age artifacts were found by a guy with a metal defector in Yorkshire 3 years ago or so. It's a wealthy hoard of precious items. But centuries ago the whole lot were all buried after being burnt or disfigured by hammer blows or cut up. Hiding a treasure hoard is not surprising, but deliberately ruining them before the burial has the archaeologists puzzled. So they came up with the odd theory that a wealthy person or group destroyed them to advertise how wealthy they were. As in showing that such a treasure trove was a mere trifle to them. Somehow I can't imagine a group of ancient elites sitting around their impressive round house fort hearth one evening, and one them suggests: "lets gather heaps of our treasures and destroy them publicly just to advertise how wealthy and important we are. That sounds like a silly Monty Python sketch! https://www.foxnews.com/travel/metal-detectorist-unwittingly-discovers-strange-hoard-hundreds-ancient-objects-rarely-seen Edited March 26, 20251 yr by Fielder 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
