Found in Mongolia, dated to ca. 14th Century CE. #MiddleAges #AsianHistory #Mongols #Weapons

Whistling arrows are useful during hunting, because the effect on animals of an arrow whistling away high above the ground is often to make it stop, curious to see what is in the air.

This gives the hunter time to launch a second arrow, this time with a game head to kill the animal.

These whistling arrows made by inserting an arrowhead of bone in which air channels have been created. When shot, such arrowheads make a very audible sound through the air.

Each side bears the names of three months of the year.

For each month we can see, starting from the top: the number of days in it; the day on which the Nones (the day of the Moon’s first quarter) falls; the duration of the day and night expressed in hours; the sign of the zodiac; the protecting divinity; work to be attended to in the fields; and the most important festivities.

While the owner of this skull is unknown, the shop from which this was found, claimed that a traveller had sold it to them.

He added that the man got this skull from his ancestor, a doctor who traveled throughout Asia to help those in need.

At one point he treated an abbot in a Buddhist Monastery in Tibet, and in return the munks gave him the carved tibetan skull.

Studied by historians and experts, one Tibetan Khenpo (Monk-Professor) explained such skulls were carved a long time ago to take a curse off a family or to guide the soul of a mislead human being on the right path.

Sitting at the height of 116 cm (46 in) and 175 cm (69 in) across, the headdress has the form of concentric layers of different colored feathers arranged in a semicircle.

The smallest is made from blue feathers of the Cotinga amabilis with small plates of gold in the shapes of half moons.

After it was excavated in 1927, the archaeologists assembled the dress slightly different than how it’s shown today. The dress’ design was corrected over time thanks to archaeologist George Reisner’s meticulous documentations and excavations.

Here’s how the burial chamber and the sarcophagus it was found in looks like. Notice it’s not decorated, just like the vast majority of burial chambers of the time including the Great Pyramid.
