A very random historical question

Discussion in 'Politics' started by LostBegonia, Sep 12, 2023.

  1. Who in history decided that the best way to let people know who was in charge, was to have the man in charge wear an impractical heavy metallic hat? I know the hat is made of expensive stuff but I also don't understand why non-functional metal and rock is so expensive.
     
  2. In what circumstance does the man in charge wear an impractical heavy metallic hat?
     
  3. I was speaking of wearing a crown to signify one is the king

  4. The metals and stones are rare and beautiful.

    I understand your question though, i think. In fact you can question a lot of symbols in this way, it is all pretty bizarre. Ceremonies, garb, etc.

    Bowing to another person, exposing your neck in submission. Look at court rooms. One guy in a black robe costume, sitting above everyone else with a wooden hammer.

    Going back to crowns and gems, we know crystals/gems have unique properties, perhaps there was a memory that they were important from a previously advanced society.

    I think wearing headgear that signifies rank or accomplishments must be fairly common across cultures.

  6. Egyptians wore some form of metal crowns (or diadems) around 2000 BC.

    World's oldest crown from 'Nahal Mishar Hoard' goes on display for first time | Daily Mail Online

    The world's oldest crown believed to be more than 6000-years-old has gone on display for the first time in America.

    The ancient relic, which dates back to the Copper Age between 4000–3300 B.C., is shaped like a thick ring and features vultures and doors protruding from the top.

    It is believed the crown played a part in burial ceremonies for people of importance at the time.

    The crown was discovered in a remote cave in the Judaean Desert near the Dead Sea in 1961 among hundreds of other objects from the period.

  7. A metallic crown might have a shielding or a conducive effect, like a royal tinfoil hat or antennae. Maybe it has a third eye/crown chakra correlation (interesting how there's a square cut out of the 6000 year old crown above). Same thing with scepters (or wands). Like, maybe, oh lets say, maybe an ancient magick practicioner might rock a crown and scepter, and thanks to his or her abilities they might acquire wealth and status. Over time, maybe even a cataclysm, people just might associate crowns and scepters with wealth and status, not knowing anything about their practical use in magick.

    Like if someone drops a cell phone in a orangutan enclosure. Sure, the orangutan can pick up the phone and act like he's using it, but he's not dialing a number and making a phone call, he's just touching the screen then holding it up to his ear. "Look at me, I'm fancy, I have this thing. Idk what it does."

  8. that is an interesting question. i would say a king is all about showing his luxuries to his peers. hey look at my jewels....just like people today.

    i would read a book about the crown jewels in england and maybe that will shed some light
     
  9. Kings & Queens are the ancestors of self crowned warlords who manipulated their slaves/servants into believing that they had a divine right to be their leader. “God” had somehow chosen them.

    Anyone who bows to a king/queen is a fool blinded by bling, pomp & bullshit.
