according to my best friend.. “damn our warriors looked badass!”
was this the traditional helmet ? time? region? allegiances? etc..
very cool and interesting
Yes it was, it’s from the Araratian (Urartu) period, 860 BCβ590 BC. Found in Armenian Highlands, predecessor of the Armenian kingdom. Here are some pictures of the discovered helmets. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5042/5367637214_0a08e86dd7_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5181/5793439751_46d6263d85.jpg
