This is the most important find of Anglo-Saxon treasure they believe they have a full gold helmet(MY avitar)these were trophies taken from dead warriors,iam going to see this on display in birmingham next thursday this hoard will be sent to The British Museum on the 14th october and there is every chance it will never be displayed together again and be split up and distributed around museums in the midlands.Ornate gold crosses with latin writing from the book of numbers,careried in to battle truly amazing.

The farm i used to work on had problems with them, my boss got so pissed off with it he used to chuck hand fulls of penny washers out of the tractor when he was plowing, he said it was so the f*ckers had something to find lol!

More evidence that the saxons, for one, were israelites? Many famous historians claim the name alone (saxons) means Isaacsons. A first letter vowel is commonly dropped from hebrew to other languages as also seen in the Bible when names are translated from Hebrew to greek. Also the letter x is a later replacement of the Ks sound.
