hundreds of years old, found in the region of the ancient Mesopotamia region, the helmet of fate, is a unique but overlooked artifact in the British museum of natural history

donated around the 19th century, it has sat in a glass box, dormant, collecting dust and an occasional glance from someone

it’s just a helm right?

”and here we have an ancient helm dated to be from the lost civilization of Mesopotamia” a tour guide explains to a group of bored American students on a summer trip to Europe.
