The Bronze Age: More cheeky than you thought

No, srsly.

GOLDEN HATS.

You learn something new every day. GOLDEN HATS. Fucking awesome. Apparently for sun-worshipping priests or something. If you're going to throw some funky rituals, drezzzz for the occasion, I say. With GIANT CONICAL HATS MADE OF GOLD. Wizard hats certainly went into a decline after these, I feel.

interesting links, history geekage

Thanks for that. I knew of the cape that is mentioned, but not that there were hats to go with it.

Holy crap, that's the biggest hat I have ever seen in my life. I love the Bronze Age, but I tend to focus further east than that . . . which is why I know more about the dodgy Mesopotamian sex rituals than I do about funny European hats. Gotta love archaeology. ;)

Shit when I saw that I thought it was a golden dildo

Ahem, funky rituals are LOVE. Nowadays they never do it properly...

Really, one could almost think they were trying to compensate for something. ;)

I wonder what those huge golden... cones and our golden collars could do together...

It seems to suggest those have something in common, yeah.

And hee, I thought of Time Lord ceremonial regalia too.
