> Last Wednesday the exact location of the discovery site of the famous
'star
> disk' has been disclosed and journalists were taken there - it's actually
> not in Sangerhausen but in Nebra, but still in the German state of
> Saxony-Anhalt. After the illegal diggers who had found the disk and other
> artefacts had been tracked down, they had led the archaeologists from
> Halle's State Museum for Prehistory to the site which is now being
excavated.

> And the claim is now that the basically round structure could have been a
> Bronze age observatory, with the associated disk raising its inportance to
> a level with Stonehenge. Or so the museum folks have told the local media
> repeatedly - the issue is already becoming a political and economic one
> as there are plans to develop the site into a major tourist site.
