Now that wouldn't surprise me.
I’ve seen movies. Those can’t be ax heads. Ax heads are huge things with double blades and such. All the cool barbarian movies say so.
Those look like door stop wedges.
On a slightly more serious note...
That’s a lot of metal and work put into that many head splitters. Where, exactly, did Henry Ford’s line originate? Could this have been an early attempt at standardized factory production?
Must have been a dealership.
Or a factory producing axe heads.
That’s the entire stock from the village blacksmiths shop!
“I just hired a new lumberjack, he used to work at the Sahara Forest.”
“You mean the Sahara Desert?”
“Sure — now.”
That’s where Saddam put ‘em! I knew we find it.
I'll bet you could get more than that selling them on Ebay. The United Arab Emirates and the Saudis would probably pay 1500 quid each. After all, they're solid bronze. With a little sharpening, they'd be perfect for the headsmen.
Archeologists are such dorks! They always assume that finds have something to do with lofty thoughts about man, God and the Universe—when all human history tells us the main things Man cares about are the three ‘S’s...sleep, substenance, and sex.
And beer. You forgot beer. ;’)
No I didn’t. Among the best of all sustenance is beer, wine, ale, and various forms of distilled hard spirits.
Being made from fruits and vegetables they are diet healthy and are important in obtaining the other two of the Big “Ss” needed for a successful life: Sex, Sleep and Sex.
(I know, I added Sex twice, but I like Sex after Sleep when I wake up in the morning before I have my beer.)
