  1. England was a naval power, capable of projecting power through irresistible military force. Now it's merely an archaeological power, capable of digging and studying countless holes in the ground across the rainy island to keep a population with no future obsessed with the past. Science plays an important political role, not as a tool for building power but as an instrument of distraction. We Brazilians often say that the best deal in the world is to buy Argentines at market price and sell them for what they believe they are worth. The English believe they are worth more than the Argentines, but the truth is that neither the Americans, nor the Europeans, nor the Chinese really want to buy English guys at their low market price. But perhaps there is a market for some of the old things they have in museums.😂😂😂😂

  2. Sutton Hoo helmet was not made by the Anglo Saxons – It was made in Denmark. Connecting the evidence: The design on this Danish stamp is so similar to the one on the Sutton Hoo helmet—down to the details of the horse's harness and the warrior's wrist cuff—that researchers suggest they may have been made in the same location, or even by the same craftsmen.Previously accepted theory: For a long time, experts believed the helmet was made in Sweden, specifically the Uppland region, due to stylistic similarities with other Swedish helmets from that era.
