The c. 3600-year-old Nebra Sky Disc is considered the oldest known realistic depiction of the night sky. Instead of portraying stars as gods or mythical creatures, it shows them as simple, shining points, a remarkably modern in concept. With a diameter of 32 cm, the disc probably functioned as a calendar.

me@ninawillburger An exceptional object. I was so lucky to see it in a temporary exhibition in 2022 in the Drents Museum in Assen (NL) #NebraSkyDisk #archaeology

Meine Kinder waren total fasziniert von diesem Teil. Wie man so hört, gehen einige Menschen in ihrer Faszination direkt vor der Scheibe ziemlich weit.🤭
Ich glaube, das @MuseumHalle könnte da verrückte Geschichten erzählen... -
