How amazing is this? When first viewed you might think it was maybe 1Ft across. Turns out it is 1.4 Inches in size. How this was created without a magnifying glass is beyond me, hell even with one it seems too detailed! It also looks like it should be the cover of a power metal bands album.

The grave where the Agate was discovered was found in 2015 and a bunch of rings and other items were buried next to the warrior. The site is in the same region as Sparta though it is older than Sparta by 500 years. The Greek Culture Minister said it is the most significant find in Greece in over 65 years. 3,500 years ago, they had better artwork than that which we now put in museums.

Just think of all the technologies that were needed to depict this ancient image. The woven fabric, the metallurgy, not to mention the level of advanced civilization that must have preceded this kind of formalized warfare.

Experts are already debating the meaning of the scene in the artwork, which shows a triumphant warrior plunging a sword into a heavily-shielded combatant wearing a crested helmet, while another warrior lies sprawled-out beneath their feet, apparently already dead. Unnoticed until now, however, is the fact that this scene contains details which reveal that its pattern is in the heavens: the two main figures locked in combat contain details specific to the constellations Hercules and Ophiucus, with the nearby Corona Borealis included as well.

I have no doubt that the ancients were MUCH more advanced than we give them credit for.

As I've said before, if our civilization collapsed tomorrow, in 2,000 years you would barely know we were here. Just a layer of plastics and chemicals in the soil.

I'm researching a very old Frisian book I heard about. Could put Europe on the map with a written language back in 2000 BC. I too believe civilization is much older than five thousand years.

Yeah I just heard a podcast on it and have been checking out a guy's blog where he's been working on a new translation. It's really intriguing but controversial as well.
