Though the specific creators of these superior bronzes are unknown, scholars believe they were created by either the Cimmerians or by such related Indo-European peoples as the early Medes and Persians -all of whom were semi-nomadic people and migrated into eastern Persia around 1500-1000 BCE. Little is known of this ancient culture, but the most impressive traces are that of the bronze artifacts they left behind. These include highly decorative equipment for their horses, ceremonial containers and numerous weapons ranging from simple utilitarian pieces to elaborate masterpieces of warfare. Part of the difficulty in attributing these weapons stems from their ancient popularity; even in antiquity, the surrounding cultures recognized the superiority of Luristan weapons because of their quality, balance and durability.

For centuries outsiders were few and far between. Buddhist monks, led by a succession of Dalai Lamas, devoted themselves to matters of the spirit, literally looking down on the world from the mountaintop. This curious blend of religious sophistication and geographical remoteness gave rise to a mythology. Tibet was a forbidden land, an exotic kingdom in the clouds, the presumed location of the fabled Shangri-La—a land of dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTibetan coinage is quite scarce.

Modeled upon the Scarabaeidae family dung beetle, which rolls dung into a ball for the purposes of eating and laying eggs that are later transformed into larva, the scarab was seen as an earthly symbol of this heavenly cycle. This came to be iconographic, and ideological symbols were incorporated into ancient Egyptian society. Beginning in the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt, memorializing scarabs became common. They were found as amulets, talismans, jewelry types, or gifts of affection. They were also often incorporated into tombs as grave goods.\u003cbr\u003e\nTo the ancient Egyptians, the scarab or dung beetle was a protector of written products. The scarab was also used as a holder or medium for personal name seals. A figurine of a scarab would be carved out of stone, and then on the smooth stomach of the scarab, the engraving of a seal was made. Later, this oval image was used for the representation of the cartouche, or name\/title seals. Miniature scarab seals were carried, or kept in the later periods of Ancient Egypt.

Hearing of the great Jewish king's wisdom, the Queen of Saba traveled north, probably around 950-930 BC, to test the king with \"hard questions.\" The meeting was a success, and the two nations began trading heavily with one another. The Sabeans also traded heavily with the Greeks, hence their copying the famous Athenian Owl tetradrachms some 700 years later.

A sprig of the tree appears on her coin.\u003cbr\u003eAthena was primarily the goddess of the Greek cities, of industry and the arts, and, in later mythology, of wisdom; she was also goddess of war, a patron of the agricultural arts and of the crafts of women, especially spinning and weaving, among her gifts to man were the inventions of the plow and the flute. The arts of taming animals, building ships, and making shoes are included in her attributes, and she was often associated with birds, specifically the owl.\u003cbr\u003eShe was a virgin goddess and is always represented fully clothed, usually in armor and often holding a spear.

On the reverse is her sacred bird, the owl, symbolizing wisdom and above, to the left, is an olive sprig symbolizing her agricultural duties. Just behind the owl's back is a small crescent moon, supporting the idea that she may have originated as a lunar goddess. In Athens, owls represented a force of mystery, but one associated with good. In many ancient cultures, owning or carrying a piece of an owl as a charm was thought to provide special protection from evil spirits and health problems.
