Thanks for the reminder.
Forty years ago I lived in a Scandinavian county for a few years. The fact that the Vikings navigated, including to their North American settlement(s), using a “sun stone” was well known at that time. It’s good to see the “scientific” community catch up. One day they may even discover that ancient people used fire to cook food!
It’s interesting that the Phaistos Disk, which was excavated on Crete, was found to have been inscribed using dies, iow, movable type. No other examples of the disk have been found AFAIK, but time will tell. Sometime in the last 15 or so years one scholar claimed that the Phaistos Disk was a modern forgery, I wonder if the claim grew out of the use of dies.
What you say??!!! Fire isn’t just a weapon of mass destruction??!!
