Sutton Hoo's East Anglian "king' Raedwald?

... Is the right answer!

The mystical face of the Dark Ages - the helmet belonging to an ancient British king of the Wuffingas Dynasty - commonly believed to be Raedwald - buried with great honour and treasure at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia

I live in East Anglia but have never been to the site, I'm ashamed to say

Over to you, Vinny

Aktungbby · 11-14-24, 05:12 PM

I knew immediately I'd seen it before, but I had to realign the grey-matter to recollect where. Jimbuna's "Anglo Saxon?" simply snapped it in 'promised land' place! IE: I've actually seen it on my visits to the British Museum?

I'll return with something suitably British shortly.

Aktungbby · 11-14-24, 05:39 PM

What's this?

Eichhörnchen · 11-14-24, 05:59 PM

Well it ain't British, that's for sure

Aktungbby · 11-14-24, 10:01 PM

...don't bet on that!

Eichhörnchen · 11-15-24, 04:31 AM

Is it a parakeet?

Jimbuna · 11-15-24, 06:06 AM

New Britain Goshawk?

Eichhörnchen · 11-15-24, 06:24 AM

Cah! Talk about stretching the truth - you'd have never let me get away with this, Aktung

Talk 'bout flippn' the newly rediscovered bird'; as usual you've nailed it straightaway!

Verisimilitude, from Trump's 'fake news' to Moses descending Sinaii, god-given tablets in hand, leading to the Gaza fiasco, is a very stretchy concept. A rediscovered photo'd New Britain Goshawk falls suitably somewhere amidships on the truth-spectrum!

"You ain't whistlin' Dixie" - as I think the American saying goes

Aktungbby · 11-15-24, 12:21 PM

...being a history B.A. grad and Confederate re-enactor (9-years Col. 14th Tenn.) does that...

though "whistlin' Dixie" is impossible w/o 2 front teeth and no longer politically correct even as "ol' times are not forgot" even as we "look away"...in 21st century disgust.

Well with your new incumbent we are all increasingly wanting to "look away"
