Copper chisels, a copper needle, and a bone needle.
Grave goods.
Found in low parts of the eastern Balkan Mountain Range (near the village of Tranak, Ruen municipality, Bulgaria).
The picture was taken at tonight's opening of the exhibition Bulgarian Archaeology 2025, Museum of Archaeology, Sofia, Bulgaria.

Found in a hidden cave, the oldest crown on Earth—over 5,500 years old—was part of a ritual hoard from a lost temple. Its symbols still baffle experts.

El ídolo de Pomos es una figura de la Edad del Cobre, en el 3000 a.C. Es un ejemplo de las figuras humanoides contemporáneas que se han encontrado en tumbas de mujeres y niños y aquellas más pequeñas solían tener un agujero para llevarlas colgadas al cuello, tal y como muestra este ídolo. 🏛️Museo de Chipre 📷Berthold Werner #chipre #cyprus #edaddelcobre #copperage

Plus, just generally futzing about & making things pretty. Oh & building a massive town wall because I was tired of monsters coming in and sheep somehow glitching through fences?

I play in survival on easy mode. Feel like I should up it to "normal," but zombies in chainmail freak me out. So yeah, I'm prolly still a noob.

I am LOVING the #CopperAge update. The shelves are CRAMAZING & the copper golems are adorable. Haven't figured out yet how to get them to properly sort stuff, though.
