Nebra Sky Disc
Two men with metal detectors dug the Nebra Sky Disc out of the Mittelberg in 1999, and Swiss police recovered it from a hotel sting in Basel on February 23, 2002. UNESCO listed it in 2013. In 2020, Rupert Gebhard and Rüdiger Krause argued that it is Iron Age, about 1,000 years younger than the 1600 BC burial date the Halle museum gives, and a team that included state archaeologist Harald Meller published a rebuttal the same year.
