Do you see a crescent Moon and a round Sun? What would the small gold dots be?
This is the Nebra Sky Disc. It is an ancient (from long ago) map of the night sky!
Pray: Jesus is the Light of the world. Praise God for His wonderful gift.

The British Museum borrowed it for an exhibit. Rotten eggs applied to the bronze may have made its violet-blue color. The objects on it are gold. Experts think the disc showed farmers when it was time to plant and harvest crops. God created “lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the Earth.” Read Genesis 1:14-19.
