A mysterious Roman object unearthed in an amateur dig has baffled experts as it goes on display in Britain for the first time.
The 12-sided object was discovered in Norton Disney, near Lincoln, in 2023, and will go on display at Lincoln Museum as part of the city’s Festival of History.
Richard Parker, secretary of the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group, said it was a “privilege to have handled” the dodecahedron, but was still at a loss over what it was.
I find the antikythera mechanism much more baffling!!
Why is it baffling? We already know what it does. If anything it should be a source of admiration of the skill needed to design and build such a device. I can’t find it right now but someone took the time to rebuild one with only hand tools proving that it could be done accurately by hand and not some mysterious technology.
The only people wanting you to be baffled are the ones trying to clickbait you into visiting their site for views.
