I'm very confused about the Gundestrup cauldron. I understand there
are five rectangular plates that belong on the inside. Pictures of
these can be found at
http://www.sacredsource.com/gundestrup/ and at
the web site Kali refers to below. Four of the panels are identical at
the two sites. The Sacredsource site shows Cernunnos with the animals
as discussed by David F-W in Cybalist 19041. But the UNC site shows
not this but an entirely different picture. What's going on?
As to Kali's question below, I'd say elephants, but certainly not
engraved by anyone who had ever seen an elephant.
