I like the Blue-Oyster-Cult-ish glyph in the upper left corner. Didn’t know that was a thing!

As for the shield, if that’s the one, evidently you can see right through it! What is left to see on the other side?

Always check the warranty.

It always amazes me how few intact items we have from ancient history. It probably shouldn’t. But I read somewhere that we only have one intact Roman legionary shield, and no intact aquilas. And that there are thousands of arrow heads or pieces of ancient weapons, there are probably a couple hundred that charitably could be considered “intact.”

Should have just slid it onto a piece of glass instead of picking it up.

Amazing video! I would be much more careful in turning over such an object. It must have deteriorated quite a bit over 3500 years to be so thin.
