"This 15-karat gold helmet was discovered in a royal tomb at Ur, but it may only have been worn for ceremonial purposes." Ya think??
The article states this helmet was probably made about 2600 BC and uncovered in 1927. That's pretty amazing it was undiscovered for so long and (based on the picture) in great condition.
"The hand-beaten gold was modeled and engraved to represent hair that was tied back with a ribbon and pulled into a small bun in the back."
He must not have got the memo:

😊 King M probably couldn't get a haircut because he didn't trust someone with a blade (no hairs scissors until the Middle Ages or Renaissance) to walk around behind him.
