He was walking with his human friend in a village in North Bohemia when with his furry face he came across a real treasure. The dog Monty has found a series of artifacts and objects dating back to the Bronze Age.
A real archaeologist. During a walk in the village of Kostelecké Horky, in the heart of the Czech Republic, the dog discovered more than 20 unique objects dating back thousands of years. The finds have been analyzed by archaeologists and, since Thursday, are on display in a special exhibition in the city of Kostelec nad Orlicí.
This is not a recent event. It was a March when Mr. Frankota was walking around the fields with Monty. Suddenly his four-legged friend started digging frantically and when the man approached, what he saw left him speechless.
In fact, a series of apparently bronze objects emerged from the ground. After the end of the excavation operations carried out by the dog-archaeologist, they were identified 13 of the sickles, 2 spearheads, 3 axes and a set of bracelets. According to the scientists who then examined them, these are objects that they could have more than 3000 years.
Martina Beková, archaeologist at the Orlické Mountains Museum and Gallery in the nearby town of Rychnov, was on the team examining the objects after the discovery:
“The fact that there are so many objects in one place is almost certainly linked to an act of honor, most likely a sacrifice. What surprised us above all was the fact that the objects were whole " explains. Unusual circumstance. "These items are beautiful, but the fact that they are complete and in good condition is much more valuable to us."
Dr. Beková and her colleagues believe they belong to a group of Indo-Europeans who lived in the region during the Late Bronze Age. Their practice of creating large cemeteries, where the deceased were placed in urns, led to their official archaeological designation as the "urnfield culture", the main feature of which is the introduction of the funeral rite of cremation.
Since Monty's discovery, the surrounding fields have become an area of interest. According to scientists investigating with metal detectors, given the considerable changes the surrounding terrain has undergone over the centuries, it is possible that the deeper layers still hide some secrets.
At the moment, the only treasure is the one unveiled by Monty, with all due respect to the "fellow" human archaeologists.
