You could be right, that makes more sense thanks.

Thanks Steven but I think BMCS has probably identified it?.A helluva stretch but this circular maze thing very vaguely resembles a trilobite fossil, mate:

Excellent.Thanks Steven but I think BMCS has probably identified it?.
On the other hand though Steven, what if Blessmycottonsocks is a liar who's a time traveller who has some nefarious reason for covering up the existence of trilobites in relatively modern times?. Like when we re found a coelacanth fish and now he's an underground coelacanth farmer catering only to mega wealthy foodies who prefer them to be fed with trilobites but doesn't want the rest of us to find out?. That's extremely unlikely I'll admit but stranger things have happened.Excellent.
Well done, bless.
I'm here all week Watson. Or until I hopefully don't irritate a mod. The chase is afoot!.Dash it all, Holmes - I hadn't considered any of those realistic possibilities!
And I would have got away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky forumists.....On the other hand though Steven, what if Blessmycottonsocks is a liar who's a time traveller who has some nefarious reason for covering us the existence of trilobites in relatively modern times?.

I've got a secured trilobites supplier. Send me a PM.And I would have got away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky forumists.....
Reminds me of this from an unknown artist in 1350;This was on today's Quora.
An artifact dating from around 1,000 BC was discovered in Tushpa, Turkey in 1973 and now resides in the Istanbul Museum.
The 5.7" / 14.5 cm object has been described as resembling a figure, clad in a quilted suit, sitting in the cockpit of a rocket-like device.

This one always makes me chuckle. You just have to flip it on its side to see that it’s quite clearly an abstracted figurine of a short character in a conical hat. The parts interpreted as a spacesuit arms in the imaginative (to be charitable!) rendering are actually a large mouth and eyes.This was on today's Quora.

.. Or if you rotate it, a kind of stylised head with a hat..This was on today's Quora.

Certainly plausible!
It's a bearded gnome in a pointy hat.
I think the bigger mystery is why were ancient people in Istanbul making Tiki barware!It's a bearded gnome in a pointy hat.

@hunck beat you to it!Someone stood this object upright instead a few years back. I haven't got a link sorry but they reckoned it's instead a carving of a head wearing a helmet and provided pictures of similar era ones.

Why has it got three legs...and in that arrangement?Someone stood this object upright instead a few years back. I haven't got a link sorry but they reckoned it's instead a carving of a head wearing a helmet and provided pictures of similar era ones.

Perhaps it/they slotted into something like a wooden base or body?.Why has it got three legs...and in that arrangement?
I was wondering if it was a finial of some kind?Why has it got three legs...and in that arrangement?
The space module which was sought after by German and English archeologists in the beginning of the 1990’s was for a long time secured in the preservation unit of the museum. The first who succeeded in photographing the space module was the English Magazine “Fortean Times”. The Magazine, which showed a picture of the sculpture and head lined “Is it an ancient space module?” in their October 1993 issue was followed by the German magazine “Magazin 2000”.
why does it look like something from the golden age of scifi instead of how actual rockets look?
Why am I hearing 'Rikki don't lose that number' all of a sudden..?Mind you the same could be said for Elon Musk's rocket ships:

I'm noticing a distinct lack of a bubble canopy. Pretty sure those aren't a good idea on a rocket.Mind you the same could be said for Elon Musk's rocket ships:
