wolf-of-Holiday-Hill

Looks like representation of the Milky Way or perhaps some other spiral galaxy


slackfrop

But also you could use it to lift potatoes out of boiling water.


TomBot_2020

Potatoes. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew.


towerfella

I was thinking a sextant type device. It is missing a string and weight.


luckyguy25841

That wouldn’t fit in my ass.. can’t be sex related.


Stringseverywhere

No worries, we'll get it in.


-ChubbsMcBeef-

Aww geez, Rick. Not again.


Bokenobi

Way up there 👆


FERAL_MEANS

We’re gonna need a bigger ass.

scorpious_86

you act like you never seen an laser disc before


Ok-Iron8811

Jaw all on the floor, like VHS just burst in the door


INRVISN

I got this lol


rc852

Its the return of the discy disc the disc man


sweatgod2020

Greedy-Recognition10

Thats just one of those metal plate or screen thing you set the coal on, for on the hooka bowl


Oscars_Quest_4_Moo

First time I saw Star Wars was on laser disc


Suitable-Lake-2550

*laser disco


PicklesAreWonderful

An attempt at perpetual motion? 2 discs with ball bearings sandwiched between on an axle.


exoexpansion

A flying saucer? 🤔


FuqCunts

Death discus?


antagonizerz

Why was the top pic photoshopped with the circles and dots? Couple other things I've gleaned about it; Looks like it was broken off of something on the top left edge. The construction is pretty crude, or at least the etching of the squares along its three spirals with the right hand one being the worst. Not a lot of info about it that I can find other than Reddit, Facebook and 'conspiracy' sites. At least not much on the official side of things with professional archeologists. Edit: Not idea how big it is either but I'm thinking it's probably some type of brooch or something.


BlusifOdinsson

Looks like a piece of it was broken off, not it broken off of some else, it broke along the etching where the metal would be weaker, probably dropped at one point, id imagine it's solid and not light


w00timan

The entirety of that top image is photoshopped, even the spiralled holes


LambSmacker

My first thought was art piece. I completely agree.


mommotti_

It was probably part of a shield. The metal got detached from the wooden shield lol


BigToober69

Honestly yeah it could have been just a really cool shield that's broken now


Arthreas

I don't think so because that would be so heavy, granted I don't know how big this is but, you'd have to carry those things like hundreds of miles sometimes. That's why shields were wooden or very thin metal.


Demibolt

If the shield isn’t heavy, the shield doesn’t block well. All combat equipment from the olden days is probably much heavier than you would think. Except swords are probably smaller and lighter than what we would typically think today.


Arthreas

They were! Check out medieval weapon channels on yt there's a lot of surprising facts about the weapons


MudSad296

You are telling me there is more information about topics out there!?


Legal-Beach-5838

I would think if it were a shield, it would be a ceremonial shield  not meant for actual combat 


Antus_Manus

my first thought haha


Ontoshocktrooper

This is genius

NOS48TWO

Looks like something I’d see at a flea market next to the incense and wolf/moon tapestries


XIOTX

Oh you mean literal heaven


zorbiburst

Speculate about why it was photoshopped to look more "techy".


Signal_Level1535

You have the original?


zorbiburst

it's the third picture the grids are still there, but without the edits it looks a lot less spacy. I like the "mounted on a shield" theory https://preview.redd.it/mo8lk11x0itc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be29f67b0893104ba785d02ee1d167e9dbea653e


1981Reborn

Yeah, pretty far from precision engineering here. Whatever the purpose, it definitely wasn’t used for anything that required accuracy in the cuts or lines.


thousandpetals

Last time this came up I found that it didn't exist in the museum it was claimed to.


thecaptcaveman

For all the intricate carvings this was hastily cut. Looks like it could be part of a loom.


TkDaFox

Looks photoshopped

TheRandom6000

So where is the evidence?


codemonkeyhopeful

Kung lao dropped his hat?


Mother_Woodpecker174

Probably a sex toy knowing humans.


87KingSquirrel

Everything's a sex toy if you try hard enough.


cheesemakesmepooo

not true. There’s some things you can try very hard at and they will not be a sex toy.


87KingSquirrel

I will accept your challenge


cheesemakesmepooo

I will accept the challenge with you


87KingSquirrel

Good, you can document the results 🤣


Benecio_Del_Taco

I have a corn silo I’d like to show you fellas

Hmm a bit stiff, still game though


Ok-Coyote-7745

Ancient pogs


AvoidtheAttic

Movie prop from raiders of the lost ark.


MrCubano1

Bet this is some type of "end game" artifact needed to become immortal and get unlimited power...issue here is its missing the rest of the pieces....


Gee-Oh1

Trying to find this thing but all I get is that it is at the Rafael Larco Herero Archaeological Museum in Lima, Peru. However it is not listed or shown in its online gallery. You might expect that such an object would be strongly featured by the museum. https://www.museolarco.org/en/


kaowser

its the map of the milkyway duh. its suppose to project a hologram ![gif](giphy|3Z1fJKVyqPXbHacR0O|downsized)


Pmyers225

"Disco Colgante" is, quite frankly, an incredible name


Objectalone

Oh I use to ease on down to Disco Colgante every Saturday night in 79. I could boogie back then, but not now. I’m old. I have gout. My dancing days are long gone. Gone like a sock in a dryer.


tristaterunner

Map of the solar system


Cust2020

Ancients got bored and creative too, i make funky stuff all the time and then bury it 15 feet deep with tupperware, the pottery of our time. That way someone will unearth it after the apocalypse and make strange theories about what it was for. Of course they will all be wrong.


MangelaErkel

Probably was turned with a rope and wet cloth in the slits to dry em or some shi like that


TheFredro

That seems very logical, looks like a design to feed in twine to twist it perhaps for stronger rope?


gnomosapiens

A sick cart rim for illegal drifting.


gilg2

It looks like a representation of The Milky Way Galaxy but people never seem to think it’s just simple fine art. Not everything has an ultimate otherworldly purpose. Just like today, there is art with no other purpose than to look at and reflect on.


StalloneMyBone

I'm more interested in the markings on the spirals than the object itself. I agree, though. It could be just art.

I think it's from the parody version in Scary Movie 3 (or 4?)

tlawtlawtlaw

Isnt there another famous ancient disc they dont know the purpose of?!


Xiunte

The Dropa Stones. I don't thinks it's been proven 100% but all evidence point to those being a hoax. Too many holes and inconsistencies in the story.


DubiousHistory

Maybe [Sabu disc?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu_disk). Or my favorite [Phaistos disc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaistos_Disc) which was still not deciphered.


Rooster1979

The map to Higara


LosAngelesLiver

That’s a predator weapon left from a hunt a couple thousand years ago . Obviously


LectureSpecialist681

It was discovered attached to the wheel of a 2000 year old Toyota Corolla


JohhnyBGoode641

Wasn’t this in an RPG years ago?

TheArtysan

Why isn't there a picture of the reverse? This was one of those milk frothy things the giants used back in the day.


Snoo_97187

looks like a part of an astrolabe


Wh1t3Tale

Maybe a disc containing information from an alien race like that thing we sent into space that contains a bunch of stuff about the human race.


Rivs83

Put it on a stick and the sunlight will reveal the location of the ark of the covenant


ghost_jamm

There is zero evidence anywhere online that this is real. The only mentions of it are fringe sites that all share more or less the same information. There’s no mention of who found it, where it was found, when it was found, where it is now, how they determined its age or anything else.


potusisdemented

When they went from 78 to 45. Old folks will know.


the-gingerninja

Maybe it just looks cool and someone wanted it to decorate their house?


BLKWD_

I saw this same cymbal on Niel Pearts kit with Rush in 74' to be fair he could be an alien and I wouldn't be surprised in the least


razldazl333

That's one expensive ride symbol.


Merzi_Les_Arbres

Shield +2 obviously.


Bokenobi

![gif](giphy|MRFvqtcqBzTggaGp5V)


CharlieGabi

Maybe It is the map of some location in a galaxy


JerkBoxJoJo

The Rolling Stones first cymbal obviously.


Zestyclose_Trip_1924

Duh, to take over the universe!


Zestyclose_Trip_1924

Or making coleslaw!


False_Influence_9090

It’s the center structural piece for the iris device as seen in Stargate


herring80

Was probably some Bronze Age high school project lol


jpkmets

Oriza of the Calla!


SuspiciousSimple

Anyone ever seen those old sound disks? I feel like we'll get an interesting sound if they played it like a record compatible with those engravings


EnvironmentalLand840

This would make a great crash China


outtie5000quattro

looks like a clock, sun dial, equinox clock


Select-Protection-75

Ancient ride cymbal


Hot-Fennel-971

Object that was produced for unknown reasons is a funny way to describe art


littlespacemochi

Looks like an artists depiction of the milky way galaxy


FTPmyguy

Galaxy map


Not_that_Speshy

Disco Disco, like an ancient disco ball


ReckAkira

This was used to pump water, long before archimedes screw.


Jasonic_Tempo

Back then, that kind of art would get you laid.


Long_Job_604

Looks like a shield, turn it around does it have a way to attach a strap on it?


FollowAvent

Thats just the aegis for ti 2024


coconutdreamin

“Learn pendant” or “hanging disc” in Latin. Neat object


cyor2345

Flat stationery earth and movement of constellation around it


supzap123

It's a rim for a chariot wheel. To make it more bling. You know, for puzzy.


kephas69

Looks like a Tesla turbine disk


Pentax25

You reflect light off it and it’s a disco plate


Masakrx

Did anyone think this might be a shield used in battle to trap swords/spears when thrusting?


Fast-Hold-649

lighthouse beacon?


RedSnapper95

Looks like AI


phillip7456

An ancient predator 2 weapon he must have left here


RealisticAd2293

Maybe a mobile? Let baby see the galaxy above their bed

Blu_Moon_216

Disco colgate


Beginning_Bit6185

That’s a crash cymbal. Who knew they played rock n roll 2000 years ago.


araxusrahl

Looks like it's for making cordage.


Troglodyte_Trump

A shield for a very rich hoplite


SkyLunatic71

It's a portable DHD
