[edit] Article needs translating

The article in external links Mathias Schultz, "Der Kult der Sternenmagier" looks really interesting, and my German is just not good enough to read it. I'd love to read some of it translated, or even a summary. A very brief summary that's floating around the internet says:

Several tall gold hats have been discovered in Ireland and in different parts of central Europe, one with a chin strap. The oldest is 3300 years old and its inscriptions outline the Metonic cycle of the sun and moon. A gold cape at least 3600 years old has been found in Wales. The conical shapes suggest magian influence from Caucasian cultures. All finds are dated between 1300 and 800 B.C.

I don't know how reliable this info is, but I'd love to find out! Also an image or two that we can use on Wikipedia would be nice... I know, I want, I want... ;) But any help would be much appreciated. Fuzzypeg 07:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Fashion Project"

I removed this from the Wiki "Fashion Project": Papal Tiara is not included either. Some common sense is essential. --Wetman 17:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hat

Is the interpretation as hats consensual? Some of them seem to tall to be worn. --84.20.17.84 10:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes the interpretation as hats is consensual. Mad I know! --Dumbo1 14:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm surprised nothing is said about how phallic these "hats" look. ʄ!¿talk? 23:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
