Feeling cut off

TheCatWoman

I often feel cut off from others, including other ASC people, I share so few interests with others and when I do find a common interest people want to engage me with things like youtube and AI, things that make me want to punch the screen, whats wrong with just talking? Why dose everything have to be seasoned with with video's and stuff?

I feel cut off from NT's and ND's.

  • Would the 2,000 years old Ironage Melsonby (Yorkshire) hoard (over 800 items) be of interest? 

    I found it interesting to learn that they had 4-wheeled carts and decorations demonstrating continental european techniques and red coral embellishments.

    Both Durham University and Southampton University have been involved with the ongoing discovery and conservation studies.

    How amazing that a hoard from one small site can change how we think about Iron Age Britain. I wonder if it’s significance is something other than a high status burial? There is no evidence of a grave or a cremation, yet the placement of the artefacts is similar to grave depositions in Denmark, France and Germany. So what was the significant event that led to this deposit? 

    The artefact analysis reports that the burning of wealth as reflected in the hoard, could change how we think about wealth and status in Iron Age Britain.

    One curio was the description that they have determined some of the metal wheels had been deliberately mishapen. 

    I wondered if the symbolism was similar to that of iron age swords previously found in Western Germany - where it was described the warriors deliberately bent the swords of their defeated foe when they had bested them in battle.

    maybe I should have some ubshebti's made so as they can put it all back together again?

    Good thinking!

    I have a few replica Neolithic & Bronze Age figurines. I’ll ask them to assist.
