Publisher's Synopsis
The Gundestrup Caldron is a Celtic artifact discovered in the Teutonic land of Denmark in the early 1890s. It is housed in the Danish National Museum at Copenhagen. It contains no script but consists entirely of pictorial imagery. The primary reason for identifying it with the early postdiluvian family of Noah lies in its seven exterior panels, which furnish a counterpart to the diluvian family as represented by the Egyptian Ogdoad of Hermopolis and other such traditions. This interpretation implies the existence of a prototype or prototypes on which the present artifact is modeled.
