The archaeologists feel the helmet is connected to the La Tu00e8ne culture of European Celts who lived during the Late Iron Age. The culture, which dates to between the 4th to 3rd centuries BCE, stemmed during the mid-5th century BCE, when the Celts entered exposure to Etruscan as well as Greek folks who took a trip north coming from south of the Andes. La Tu00e8ne existed for hundreds of years as well as progressed via a number of phases just before terminating just before the start of the first millennium BCE, when the Roman took command of the Celts' territory.The culture's label originates from La Tu00e8ne on Lake Neuchu00e2tel in Switzerland, where the 1st affiliated objects were actually collected in the advanced 19th century.
" The safety helmet is actually an example of the most sophisticated Celtic metallurgy and also it appears that it might possess resided in the property of a Celt," Kaczyu0144ski included. "It was probably not given to this population, which existed during that time on the borders of any type of old world. The revelation consequently changes the previous impression of the range of exposure to the Celtic globe in the earlier pre-Roman time frame.".
