npub12v0mdlwfwnw3zzvsxs90wajdwppru3473hx7zf9j9lwqluj7d6wq3dlgn7 (npub12v0…lgn7) This is a depiction of what is believed to be "Cernunnos" a Celtic god. It is on the Gundestrup Cauldron discovered in Denmark, it was likely produced in the 1st century BCE.
Some have claimed it is "meditation".
The idea that these images from the past IS something we see in modern times is called "presentism". It is the tendency to interpret past events or artifacts through the lens of contemporary norms and understandings.
It is extremely problematic.
