Very cool....The FIRST?? can only mean the first that they have found.
Too cool.
Very cool!
Is it made of Corinthians Leather?
Wow! Stunning!
Seems to have been found in the general area of Greek colonizing efforts.
Cool find.
I miss my Cordoba.
The Russkies bashed him real good.
Isn’t that the same area where Jason and the Argonauts found the golden fleece?
Neat.
Must have been standard concussion protocol in those times.
This is such an interesting area culture wise, the people tend to look very Mediterranean Greek/Turkish and the food is a mixture of levant spices and Mediterranean staples.
Very Nice!
Thanks for posting!
I always thought the Corinthian helmets were the most snazzy looking ones in existence.
Wow! That really demonstrates what you can accomplish when you dig with a paintbrush.
Amazing how the placement of the fragments is almost undisturbed.
Where’s the leather?
My friend in California sent me these videos of Alexander’s conquest into Asia. The interesting part is that he could actually sail to points on the Asian mainland that are now actually ground. The route covered includes modern Uzbekistan, Turkministan and Afghanistan.
He visits a Lapas Lazuli mine still being worked after thousands of years. He visits many very very large ruins of cities that were militaty garrisons years ago. He visits somewhere far far off the beaten path where the kids are very very greek, the descendents of Alexander
Alexander’s soldiers likely had such helmets and there were many thiusands of them
It is a truly great series, blew my mind.

A fine example of FR topical branching.
