Countless secrets related to human civilization are hidden in the earth, whenever they come out, they surprise us. Something similar has happened in Croatia. Here archaeologists were excavating a grave, when a very old helmet came out from inside, seeing which everyone was shocked. It was found that this helmet is 2500 years old and is made of a different metal. Earlier in Italy also, scientists had found two helmets and a wall belonging to Greek civilization.
According to a Live Science report, a team from the University of Zagreb was excavating a tomb at the Gomile archaeological site. Then he saw a stone structure. When he opened it, it looked like a helmet. It was later discovered that this was a helmet dating back to between the end of the sixth century BC and the beginning of the fourth century BC.
Multiple bodies buried in each grave
University professor and head of the research team, Hrvoje Potrebica, said, there are many tombs on the site of Gomile, inside which all the information about human civilization is hidden. Each mound contains several graves and several bodies are buried in each grave. Ancient Greek documents show that a civilization developed here at the same time when this helmet was in use. Whom the Greeks called Illyrians. The Illyrians were divided into many tribes and kingdoms. Later the Roman rulers captured them between 229 and 168 BC.
looks to be in perfect condition
Potrebica said, despite being buried under the ground for so many days, it appears to be in perfect condition. Its upper cover is made of stone. However, its stone is completely different from the stones on the tombs. This shows that perhaps there was a tradition of burying this helmet along with the dead bodies. It must have been a part of a particular community. It is possible that this might have been the grave of a warrior or ruler of the sect.
enough to instill fear in the enemy
Domagoj Percic, director of the Archaeological Museum, said, if this helmet had been used during the war, then it is certain that it would have had a psychological effect on the enemies. Because it is so strong that no one can penetrate it. Surely this must have been a warrior’s helmet, which must have been placed on his head, so that he could fight in the sun. That was enough to create fear in the enemy.
