The Sky Disc of Nebra (Saxony-Anhalt, Germany) is a bronze disk with applications of gold and apparently show astronomical phenomenons and symbols of religious application areas. It is presumed to be the worldwide oldest concrete image of the sky and one of the most important archaeological finds from the Bronze Age. The disk was found by swag diggers in July 1999 in a stone chamber on the Mittelberg near the town of Nebra. It is now part of the "Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte Sachsen-Anhalt Halle" (State Museum of Prehistory Halle). The circular disk is approx. 12.6 in in diameter and about 0.18 in thick in the centre and 0.07 in at the rims. Based on associated finds (a bronze sword, two axes, a chisel and fragments of spiralled bangles), the disk was probably buried in 1600 B.C. and made between 2100 and 1700 B.C.

I just visited that site to check out the sky disk, Gert. The photos/images are extraordinary but without your explanation I wouldn't have been able to interpret the German words on the page. An extraordinary poem about man's early history and the disk is quite a piece of art. I hope you'll consider entering it in the "Dazzle Us with History" contest that James Fraser and I are co-sponsoring. Thanks for providing the link. An awesome write, my friend. Love, Carolyn
