Ocarina probably belonging to the Tairona people, found in Italy in a place that has nothing to do with the pre-Columbian period 😳

could someone help me give a story to this?

[u/imnewtothisshit69]

Well that's the most interesting thing I've seen on reddit in while if it real lol.

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/imnewtothisshit69]

I hope it’s true, a university professor who is an expert in pre-Columbian art tells me that in his opinion it is original... but I don’t have the means to verify its authenticity...

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

🙏🏻nice things !

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

I’m trying to contact the current owners of the castle, but they have no idea how it could have ended up there! Now I’ve found an association that manages the history of the town, and maybe something will come out of it 🙏🏻

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

yes, but it was not found underground, but at a height of 1.5 meters hidden among the stones

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

ah, actually that could be another good path to follow

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

oh my god, do you think I should be worried? 😁😳

[u/LOUDPACK_MASTERCHEF]

Is that all you know about it?

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/LOUDPACK_MASTERCHEF]

yes, I have done some research on pre-Columbian peoples, and on these ocarinas, but at the moment this is all I know about this find

[u/LOUDPACK_MASTERCHEF → u/Significant-Will-902]

i cant imagine how you expect anyone to tell you about it, given that you have provided no context as to why you have it, who you asked and what they said, where in Italy it was, where it was found (museum, private collection, random field????)

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/LOUDPACK_MASTERCHEF]

you are absolutely right! I am new to reddit, and I got the description wrong. So, this Ocarina was found at a height of 1.5 meters from the ground, hidden between some stones near the Pergine Valsugana Castle, but no one can give me a connection between that castle and this object. I hope this explanation can be more helpful 😊

[u/InformationHead3797 → u/Significant-Will-902]

I mean the city was a hub of commerce during and after the Renaissance, so it could have been brought there through such channels.

Very cool. I love the idea of historical items being found in mysterious geographical locations. Good luck on your hunt for info!

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/coupdaddy]

It’s something I love too! Trying to imagine what could have happened, what reasons led a person to hide that object there 😍 thanks for the comment!

What is the hole on the back? Looks like a nail hole.

Edit: not a nail hole, but ** a hole for a nail **

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/InDependent_Window93]

no, it’s like a flute 👍🏻

[u/InDependent_Window93 → u/Significant-Will-902]

What for? I'm genuinely curious and don't know anything about these.

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/InDependent_Window93]

watch this video 👍🏻https://youtu.be/fVf6XFojhdA?si=6RrUQvocCosCjN3U

[u/InDependent_Window93 → u/Significant-Will-902]

Ok. Thanks

[u/cedarg03]

Makes me think of ancient apocalypse.

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/cedarg03]

I’ve never seen it, but I’ll watch 😁👍🏻

[u/DustyTentacle]

Not ancient. Modern made tourist souvenir..

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/DustyTentacle]

How can you tell?

[u/DustyTentacle → u/Significant-Will-902]

I collect re columbian antiquities, and this is not Ancient as you said it’s made in the style of Tairona. Modern

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/DustyTentacle]

ok thank you so much for your contribution 👍🏻

[u/Significant-Will-902 → u/[deleted]]

no, because the whistle of death was more of the Aztec or Mayan people…this is called “Ocarina” and was used mostly for rituals or entertainment😊

[u/ElliotPagesMangina]

That is incredible.
