🔄FROM THE ARCHIVE Controversy abounds over an ancient artifact most researchers agree is astounding.
. “It displays the world’s earliest known concrete representation of astronomical phenomena.”
The looters claimed the hoard was found on the Mittelberg Hill in the Saxony-Anhalt region near Leipzig in eastern Germany. Dating of the swords and other artifacts found in the area would place the disk at about 1600 B.C. in the Bronze Age. Pernicka and his colleagues believe the disk is a concrete representation of astronomical phenomena.
Gebhard places the sky disk with others with similar motifs dating to the Iron Age. This would mean that the Nebra Sky Disk is roughly 1 millennium younger than initial dates suggested, putting it at about 500 B.C. If this is true, it wouldn’t be the oldest depiction of the night sky or the oldest star map. “The interpretations we have right now are not satisfying because the ideas do not fit together,” he says.
