I know a tank when I see one.


Cool, looks like their head is strapped to the helmet which extends quite far down to immobilize the neck and prevent whiplash.
Edit: from the wiki:
By the late 15th century, it had become customary for this type of helmet to be mounted with screws or rivets onto the wearer’s cuirass, though this only allowed the wearer to look forward, rendering helmets worn that way only suitable for jousting charges.


Hell of a shot.


I believe that’s the Basilic pictured?


Cool! What are you going to do with it?
Side note, I thought the thumbnail was a crime scene photo at first. Looks like the top of a guy’s head.


I’m not sure, but that’s an interesting idea.


There was one grave found at the site where an older woman was buried with a plastered skull:




The people of Çatalhöyük buried the dead under their houses.
As a part of ritual life, the people of Çatalhöyük buried their dead within the village. Human remains have been found in pits beneath the floors and especially beneath hearths, the platforms within the main rooms, and beds. Bodies were tightly flexed before burial and were often placed in baskets or wound and wrapped in reed mats. Disarticulated bones in some graves suggest that bodies may have been exposed in the open air for a time before the bones were gathered and buried. In some cases, graves were disturbed, and the individual’s head removed from the skeleton. These heads may have been used in rituals, as some were found in other areas of the community. In a woman’s grave, spinning whorls were recovered and in a man’s grave, stone axes. Some skulls were plastered and painted with ochre to recreate faces, a custom more characteristic of Neolithic sites in Syria and Neolithic Jericho than at sites closer by.
There are also modern people who do similar.


That’s the only entrance, yes. I read that it was to keep the interior cool by letting the heat escape out the top while the cooler air sinks down to the bottom.


I read that it was for cooling. Doors and windows let a lot of the cool air escape.


The site was at it’s peak circa 7000 BCE, about 2000 years before the invention of the wheel.
The thing is that Nazis say all kinds of things that are supposed to make them look smart and cool to their pathetic dipshit friends.
I make it a policy to require at least one more source above “a Nazi said it.”
