@ hoo:
obviously it´s broken. how would you look after 3000 years of being buried?
how i got to my nickname? -> my brother bought star wars battlefront 1 after it was released for ps 2 and 1 was hooked by the game, so i had to create a nickname for a user profile. i wanted to kill some "rebel scum" and was watching a tut ench amun documentation on televison. my brain thought it was a nice idea to name myself killertut, only god knows why...

the pic:
it´s a bronze needle found and excavated from garlstorf, germany.
it was used from 1600-1300 before christ in lower saxony by the lüneburg group (right in the middle of the bronze age in germany).
the head is a religous/spiritual symbol. it is a crowned sun wheel. this symbol is widly spread through the bronze age.
the needle was used to fixate clothes.
so congrats to anyone guessing needle! and bnb: your pic is not totally incorrect

That was going to be my second guess!

Aha!! So it IS the headpiece of the Staff of Ra!! Let's go find the Ark of the Covenant!

Serious note, that is a really cool artifact. How did it come to be in your possession, and have you ever thought about donating it to a museum? They may pay you handsomely for it!

[killertut]

its not my possession. it is the first artifact i had in my hands after starting my university career. im studying history and early history and that means my speciality is archeology
