Why is it that when archeologists don't understand something, the go-to is always "It could be of religious, ritual, or spiritual significance?"

The stone balls are weights for throwing nets to catch animals. The bronze dodecahedrons are for weaving wires and then compressing them into decorative chains

These are game balls. All about the same size. Easy to carve because round rocks are plentiful. People played a game using them, like Bocce.

@AGtheGEEK Месяц назад

This is what I was thinking

@rickdunn7585 Месяц назад

Maybe but some of them look more like weapons

@albertmiller3082 Месяц назад

@@rickdunn7585 Good point. They may well have served dual purposes. Militia lug these around as weapons and in their off time, use them harmlessly as game ‘balls’. That could’ve easily been a thing that triggered a broader tradition. I agree that some look purposely unround, with bumps and projections in places that invites open speculation around intended purpose. Great observation, Rick. These are intriguing objects alright.

@tanyas8596 Месяц назад

That would be logical except for the dodecahedrons which are very difficult to create. I would say those were for weaving. I'm guessing the solid ones were all for games too though!

@ddoherty5956 Месяц назад

The dodecahedron might be for forming tripods for camp cooking, might explain the various different sized holes for different sized cut poles?

@Debbie-henri Месяц назад

That's actually a smart answer. It would be a quick way of making a tripod of sticks secure and stable before hanging a pot on it. I was thinking that they were perhaps a way of making knots more secure around 'scaffolding' when Romans were making buildings (since we all know they built multiple storied buildings as well as ground floor villas). Thread the rope through the holes, the knobbly bits on the outside also acting to keep both posts and knots secure, reducing movement.

4:54 chalk is used for raising the ph in soils with high acidity. So in the event of an outbreak of cholera, it would dry out the bodies and help prevent the spread of disease in the soil.

@tanyas8596 Месяц назад

It looks like the dodecahedrons might have been used for some kind of weaving or knitting. My second guess would be some kind of plumbing segment.

@ahall1459 29 дней назад

I would say the balls are weavers weights. Being decorative is an example of there talent. The cast bronze device is a form of finger knitting for making different size tubes of wool...the tubes could be put together to make different articles of clothing for babies and people generally... Plus the articles themselves make for useful reserves of bronze material for making weapons...being lost wax castings offer the fine detail seen.

@FriedPi-mc5yt Месяц назад

The round decorated stones were used for a game. That’s why they are unique in appearance. The Roman dodecahedrons were used for making gold rope necklaces. The grinders were used for grinding pigments for paint.

@jimcunningham5376 Месяц назад

Looks to me like balls to cause a hollow wooden box to sound like thunder when rolled from one end to the other

@warp.9.scotty Месяц назад

I think the wrong questions are being asked. How were they made? If they were cast then how did they make the mold? If they were forged and welded, how did they get such sharp angles at the vertices? There’s a level of skill in their manufacture that needs to be understood.

@sash4all Месяц назад

It looks exactly like Boccia or Boule, similar games are thousands of years old and were played historically with stone ball since more than 500 bc by greeks and all what greeks have done, also was done by romans.

@michelarmand41 Месяц назад

The hollow metal objects (3:00) are land surveyors' devices (the name of which I do not know) They are used to determine distant lengths by sighting, (lengths perpendicular to the sighting) hence the different diameters of holes . The small balls are used to position the device. It's a really curious device, normally of Roman origin....

Maybe they are ancient fidget toys , or something used in a sport/ game of some kind, and the winner would be identified by the ball, as all players have their own distinct design.

@nelsonx5326 27 дней назад

The dodecahedrons are for measuring portions of spaghetti. Pass through a small hole is a child's portion, a big hole a soldiers portion.

@m.w.wilson234 28 дней назад

@3:34 I would like to suggest a more mundane use for the dodecahedron: Tent poles connectors for different diameters of poles used vertically to hold the tent corners and some poles use horizontally to hold the walls in place to keep them from sagging. Different sized holes means that one could use any locally cut poles and they would probably fit or could be trimmed to fit easily. The little round balls keep the tenting material off of the connectors during wet weather and can be used to slash down the tenting material to the corner especially in windy and rainy weather. May explain why these are not found at/with religious places and artifacts; the ancient peoples were masters of recycling especially hard-to-come-by metals so there may be only a relatively small amount of these around.

@georgelewis1727 Месяц назад

I wonder if the dodekahedra were designed for rope arrays like for curtains or sails. A way to organize complex arrays or for making ropes taught or loose. Love this stuff ‐ reminds me of the game show Liar's Club.

@julesgosnell9791 Месяц назад

For the lock-rings, I'm suggesting a beard decoration - you would probably twist your beard until it was tight enough to push through the gap in the ring, then let it expand to fill it - I don't have a beard or a ring to test with so this is conjecture :-) - for the pestle/mortars I'm thinking that the shape must be functional - I think that the the pestle doubled as a tool with which to apply the substance being ground and this dictated the shape of the mortar aswell. I am going with warpaint - perhaps woad.

@daxlog1685 18 дней назад

They are cooking rocks. Heat the rock in direct flame place in clay pot and the water boils instantly without having the pottery directly over the fire. Heat or cook food, purify water etc. the designs increases the surface area of the stone which allows for an increased heat transfer. Yep, that’s it.

@georgesheller6054 Месяц назад

Much like today we have prized “nicknacks” on our shelves and credenza, the first 3 items, carved stone balls, the decahedrons, and chalk drums may have been prized gifts given as a symbol of admiration or appreciation. Some would be so prized as to find their way into graves. Like today, they are displayed in significant parts of one’s home as a symbol of gratitude or importance. In all cases, these 3 items were very difficult to make and would hold great value. I’m not convinced everything in the past solely held just mystical, religious, or astronomical significance.

@user-rc4vo1th9j Месяц назад

I believe the balls are "Juicer Balls". Push down and roll over fruit and you get fruit juice. Better than drinking water all the time. I believe the dodecahedrons are "Lots". Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart. It's for making decisions by chance like rolling the dice. The knobs at the corners helps make it easier to tell which face is facing up on uneven surfaces.

@hookedonherbs3825 Месяц назад

@randywise5241 Месяц назад

Orbs of power for the clan chiefs to hold when holding court? The ones with the holes were for making ropes and such. Chalk drums could have been teaching tools to help the young to learn their lost written language. The rings may have been to hold their robes on.

@michelarmand41 Месяц назад

The stone balls are weapons called Celtic hammer or monkey arm, the protuberances are intended to allow a relative attachment of flexible links, such as leather, dried nerves etc... the modern version still exists...

@marksims1424 Месяц назад

Well I heard they are representations of a zygote in different stages.

The stone balls could have enabled sinew wound in the valleys between protuberances to find purchase. Hung from the necks of animals, they could allow different owners to identify free ranging livestock.

Those drum patterns show the sacred offset rhythm the ancients used. They went to great lengths to show us the offset. The entire configuration of the Giza Pyramids show the same wave folder, and splitter. Cant be any clearer. If you want be able to do the Shiva Tandava dances, you need to know the rhythm and hoe to use it. Tesla said "Energy, vibration, and frequency" he never considered how important rhythm and dance was. Its the key.

Those golden circles remind me of the same shape objects that one eccentric tribe in China was responsible for making them They have that distinct cut and the only difference between them is the fact that that Chinese tribesmen made them out of stone and there was a big debate about a possibility of the ETs being responsible for creating them because the people of that tribe are unusually short and have features that make them look a bit alien like The NASA’s footage of the torn tether Can be viewed on RU-vid And countless disks can be seen in that footage that suddenly appear and seemingly inspect that tether and they all have the exact same cut and the hole on the middle and they look transparent though some of them look solid .

Stone age golf balls. Seriously. Not like but not all that different from modern golf. A shepherd wandering the hills with his sheep entertaining himself by whacking a stone with a stick in the direction he's going.
