From Bronze Age Wales, the spectacular Mold Cape! 🤩 An incredible ancient feat of sheet-goldworking, beaten from a single gold ingot some 3,600 years ago! The extraordinary embossed decoration is said to mimic strings of beads. 📷 @AlisonFisk #FindsFriday #Archaeology

When Beethoven died in 1827, admirers snipped locks of his hair as mementos. Two centuries later, scientists tested those strands and what they found was staggering. His hair contained up to 380 micrograms of lead per gram. The normal level is 4. He also had 13 times the normal arsenic and four times the mercury. The results explain much of his agony... the deafness, the stomach pain, the despair. @CultureExploreX #globalmuseum

One of the most intense and profound moments in history. 11am on the 11th November 1918 when the guns fell silent. This should be shown in every school. #globalmuseum #WW1 @HistoryGirlBW

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut. Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect! 2nd century AD.

A German family has lived in the same place for 3,000 years Scientists have discovered that the Huchthausen family from the village of Förste (Lower Saxony) has lived there continuously for around three millennia, Bild reports. DNA analysis showed that the ancestors of Manfred Huchthausen lived just two kilometers away — in the Lichtenstein Cave, where archaeologists found human remains buried around 1000 BC, along with bronze jewelry, animal bones, and traces of funeral pyres. #globalmuseum
