Bronze Age Treasure found in Denmark

Danish archaeologists have found 2,000 gold spirals buried in a field in Zealand, near a site where several ancient gold bracelets and bowls had previously been discovered.  While not certain of their exact function, it is thought they were used to adorn the ceremonial garbs of sun-worshipers.  It is clear from these finds that this site was of great historical significance.  Work continues….

The golden spirals are each approximately 3cm long and weigh 0.1 grams each.   They are thought to have been made between 900 and 700 B.C. (Bronze Age).
