golden-bowl

BREAKING NEWS – Boston, Massachusetts – In 1958, archaeologists were digging through the ruins of a burned Iron Age citadel called Hasanlu in northwestern Iran when they pulled a spectacular, albeit crushed, golden bowl from the layers of destruction. The 3,000-year-old bowl became an object of fascination once word got to the press. The next year, it graced the pages of Life magazine in a full-color spread alongside an article about the discoveries at Hasanlu. The bowl was uncovered just beyond the fingertips of a dead soldier and two of his comrades, who were crushed under bricks and burned building material around 800 B.C. After doing some extensive research Michael Danti, an archaeologist at Boston University has concluded that that the bowl was actually a common bucket that was typically used to carry fried chicken. Also, one of the dead soldiers was a colonel.
