Debra Taylor+FollowLost Jewel Fit for a Duke Found in Moat!Imagine losing your bling in a muddy moat! Archaeologists just pulled a 600-year-old amethyst set in fire-gilded silver from a medieval castle’s moat in Poland. This gem was probably part of a brooch or crown—totally high-status, and maybe even magical (medieval folks thought amethysts could ward off bad dreams and treason!). The best part? It wasn’t hidden in a tomb or treasure chest, just dropped by some fancy aristocrat on a regular day. Wild, right? #History #Archaeology #Medieval1802Share
Roy Davis+FollowDid They Just Find a King’s Skull?!A skull just turned up in a ruined Hungarian church, and experts think it might actually belong to legendary King Matthias Corvinus! The facial features, age, and even a greenish tint (possibly from a crown!) all line up with the famous ruler. They’re doing DNA tests to confirm, but if true, this could totally change what we know about medieval royalty. Imagine finding out you’re staring at the real face of a king! #HistoryMystery #Archaeology #Medieval #Royalty #Hungary #Science291Share
