(there were many other websites but i thought this would be enough to prove that innoxx and tystnad were right)


well I just did a quick google search but in reading your links I found this:

"Archaeological finds, all but one of which date from the ninth century B.C. to about the seventh century C.E., back them up on the horn thing, but only to a degree. The ancients implied that such helmets were used in battle, but a ceremonial use is more likely. The finds consist mostly of images from rock carvings, horn carvings, coins, engraved metal objects, etc. A few actual horned helmets have been found; most are Germanic helmets from Denmark, but one is a Celtic model dredged from the Thames. None of these ceremonial horned helmets match the stereotypical image of a metal helmet with ox horns attached. For example, two Bronze Age horned helmets unearthed at Viksø, Denmark sport long twisting horns made of metal."

I would admit that it wouldnt be good in battle but it would be good in intimidation of others. It does make sence that it would be used in ceremonial uses

I've got an unissued Army helmet in my room. It's on my dresser. by my glass Coke bottle and CD collection, with a plush Zebra sitting on top of it.

Ive got a 1939 gasmask on my drawer, next to my unissued katana. oOo:

Tystnad 08-02-2005 05:23 PM
