In the northeastern German state of Brandenburg, German archaeologists have found "bowl-shaped gold coins" from 3,000 years ago, but archaeologists are also very honest, saying that they do not rule out counterfeit goods.
Brandenburg is in northeastern Germany, the capital is Potsdam, after the surrender of Germany at the end of World War II, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union held the famous Potsdam Conference here to discuss the sphere of influence in post-war Europe, that is, the carnival of dividing up the spoils. After drinking and eating, everyone decided to give Germany a vertical knife and divide it into east and west, and Brandenburg was part of East Germany.
This time in Bates, Brandenburg, archaeologists found a set of 41 Celtic "bowl gold coins," the first local discovery of Celtic gold coins.
German farmers call this "bowl gold coin" "rainbow gold coin", because in history, some farmers have planed these gold coins from the soil when ploughing the land after heavy rains, so folklore: the first rainbow touch after the rain, as long as you dare to plan, you can find luck.
Brandenburg has long been free of Celts, and archaeologists speculate that the gold coins may have been circulated by Celtic tribes around 1000 BC through the European trade network of the Iron Age.
In fact, in the ancient European era, the Celts were everywhere, and their production capacity and culture were very developed, but they were not as rich as the Germans, and finally they were driven to the British Isles, but not long after, the Germanic branch, the Anglo-Saxons, was hunted down to the island.
After a protracted tug-of-war, the Celts found that they could not defeat the Germanic barbarians, and finally most of them retreated to Ireland, only some of them remained in the west of England, that is, today's Welsh, and to this day, the Irish still have no trouble with the British, often white knives into red knives out.
The inventor of the "bowl gold coin," archaeologist Wolfgang Hecht, said he had dug up the treasure under the supervision of the Brandenburg State Office of Conservation of Monuments, first unearthing a set of 11 gold coins, and then digging 30 more, for a total of 41 gold coins, in addition to a number of silver and copper cups.
However, Hecht also said bluntly that the local ancient people were not honest, often engaged in some fraudulent tricks, and many of the ancient gold coins found before were just iron coins coated with a thin layer of gold paint, deliberately pretending to be gold coins.
It seems that the ancient Germanic people were not just simple-minded, well-developed men, but also a little clever.
