This from "Earth: The Biography". I just finished watching it on Blu-ray and it is a great 6-part documentary from the BBC. I've watched this kind of stuff for years, and there were still lots of "I didn't know that" moments.
they made up the lightning electrical noise, maybe they made up the bright bolt as well, is it ok to fake sound but not video? I call ethics violation!
Helmets fitted with masklike visors were a popular German and Austrian fashion about 1510 to 1540. With their visors forged and embossed as humorous or grotesque human masks, such helmets were often worn in tournaments held during the exuberant pre-Lenten (Shrovetide) festivals, celebrations somewhat akin to the modern Mardi Gras. Substitute visors of more conventional type were often provided for everyday use.
Interestingly, the postulated 1515 date for this helmet would make it contemporary with the “horned helmet” previously posted at Neatorama.

Weird. I don't see anything embedded at all. It looks dead or something. But when I view the source and go to the URL here, I can watch it.
