Looks like they worshipped birds and a thumbtack... I can understand the birds... But what’s up with that thumbtack?

How else could they hold the birds onto it?

The thumbtack was the first thing I saw. 😄 I wonder if there was a rope or string threaded through some of the pieces. It seems to be missing something.

thumbtack

More of a pushpin than a thumbtack. If you are powerful enough, you can wear a funny hat, and no one would dare mock you,

They didn’t have bulletin boards yet, so the invention of the thumbtack was useless, and they’d gone to the trouble of making them, and had to use them for *something*.

At that time paper hadn’t been invented yet to tack onto a cork board, which hadn’t been invented yet either, so the thumbtack was revered as a mystical object.
