The archaeologists working on the dig thought it was a bit of a mystery and a special find. Not so much the fact that there was an unusual artifact, but where the unusual artifact may have come from.

The glass historian they contacted also thought it was a bit of a mystery and a special find.

What are your qualifications to say that they were wrong?

What's mysterious is what it was. Now that we know that it seems like there's several non-controversial paths for how it could have got where we found it.

I imagine it was used to carry the captured souls of pedantic people.
