Moontanman Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Thunderstone Mystery: What's a Stone Age Axe Doing in an Iron Age Tomb? ScienceDaily (June 16, 2010) — "If one finds something once, it's accidental. If it is found twice, it's puzzling. If found thrice, there is a pattern," the archaeologists Olle Hemdorff and Eva Thäte say. Thunderstone mystery: What's a Stone Age axe doing in an Iron Age tomb? Quote
Boerseun Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 A real mystery would have been if it was an Iron Age axe in a Stone Age tomb... Maybe that tomb was a museum. Think about it! In a gazillion years, when they dig up what once was 20th century museum sites, they'll find Stone Age axes from the caveman display a few metres away from the computer terminal of the security office. Decidedly odd. Especially if you assume the dig to be a tomb, what with all the bones from the displays lying around... :) Quote
Eclogite Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 A real mystery would have been if it was an Iron Age axe in a Stone Age tomb...Exactly what I was thinking and what I was about to post. It is hardly a mystery - interesting certainly, but not at all mysterious. Quote
