Sorry @c3podcast.bsky.social but the lobotomy was invented in 1935 so while the damage they did was massive, they weren't commonly used for that long. Having a massive spike in the 1940's but from the 1950's were already being abandoned.

@c3podcast.bsky.social I got my handle from the book/movie The NeverEnding Story. It's the medallion that the childlike empress gives to Atreyu and later Bastian, that can grand wishes. The name supposedly is derived from the latin aurum meaning gold. TD is just my initials.

@c3podcast.bsky.social no actual "real" ancient ufo stories but have you looked up UFO's in classic paintings. There are quite a few Renaissance paintings with strange objects in the sky. The Madonna with Saint Giovannino (from the image) being one of the more famous ones.
