We Been Wrong For Years

We Been Wrong For Years. They're Boobs, Not Horns
We Been Wrong For Years

Found in 1868 in the River Thames by Waterloo Bridge in London, England, the Waterloo Helmet has long been labeled as a Ceremonial / Ritual / Religious object. This has always been based on how the “horns” were useless and problematical in combat.

OK, any and every “find” that archeologists can’t immediately identify a use for has long been labeled as a Ceremonial / Ritual / Religious object. 😛

But now, after seeing the Waterloo Helmet in context, we can see that we were fundamentally wrong. Those aren’t horns; they’re boobs! It’s a repoussage, pre-Roman, bronze boob hat in the La Tène style. 😆
