A nearly complete 1st century BCE carnyx found in 2004 at Tintignac, France (the one in the left picture, with a reconstruction in the right). Fashioned as a snarling boar, the carnyx was a war horn used by the Iron Age Celts between c. 200 BC and c. 200 AD.
Looks more like a dragon than a boars head
ReplyDeleteUsing CE and BCE is offensive. Please don't.
ReplyDeleteI know the folks who are smarter than all the rest of us think that it stands for "Common Era" and "Before Common Era" but we all know that they really mean Christian Era and Before Christian Era. They are giving homage to Christ even when they are trying not to.
DeleteThat's a nice way of looking at it, Northwoods.
DeleteCouldn't care less if you're offended.
DeleteIt's BC and AD for me.
When I hear BCE, or 'climate change' I know I've identified someone who is touched by the mind virus.
