People get excited about this “stuff” and it is cool...but then they create a fairy tale for its’ existence.
From the article: “The arrowhead has an impact fracture on its tip, and the arrowhead “had been broken close to the mid-shaft, perhaps as a result of this impact,” the archaeologists said The damage suggests the arrowhead hit a target, they added.”
Or the damage could be from missing the target and hitting a wall, the stony ground, or being dropped and run over by a donkey cart. See! I can throw out WAGs too. Where’s my grant?
That’s exactly right. They really have no way of knowing in what battle, if any, this arrowhead was used. It is cool enough for those of us who are interested in such things, but they have to pump it up for the average Joe. They got news sites to sell and research grants to get, I guess.
No, you’re wrong, it is truly a miracle. How else can you explain the arrowhead came from the arrow the Russian soldier found in the mountains in Red Dawn.
Yep...
