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.

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...
