Article needs translating edit
The article in external links Mathias Schultz, "Der Kult der Sternenmagier" looks really interesting, and my German is just not good enough to read it. I'd love to read some of it translated, or even a summary. A very brief summary that's floating around the internet says:
- Several tall gold hats have been discovered in Ireland and in different parts of central Europe, one with a chin strap. The oldest is 3300 years old and its inscriptions outline the Metonic cycle of the sun and moon. A gold cape at least 3600 years old has been found in Wales. The conical shapes suggest magian influence from Caucasian cultures. All finds are dated between 1300 and 800 B.C.
I don't know how reliable this info is, but I'd love to find out! Also an image or two that we can use on Wikipedia would be nice... I know, I want, I want... ;) But any help would be much appreciated. Fuzzypeg 07:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

"Fashion Project" edit
I removed this from the Wiki "Fashion Project": Papal Tiara is not included either. Some common sense is essential. --Wetman 17:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Hat edit
Is the interpretation as hats consensual? Some of them seem to tall to be worn. --84.20.17.84 10:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes the interpretation as hats is consensual. Mad I know! --Dumbo1 14:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm surprised nothing is said about how phallic these "hats" look. ʄ!•¿talk? 23:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well you might sign your name with a squiggle, Mr Fennessy. For shame! Drag your mind out of the gutter! Hats that look like the male generative organ? Whatever next? I have never heard anything so ridiculous since Grimes the gardener offered to show me his prize marrow. I followed him in a flush of fevered anticipation to the hothouse, only to be presented with an award-winning cucurbit. The fool! Any idiot could tell it was a cucumber, not a marrow.

Wrong title edit
Golden hats are found not only in Europe, but also in Asia, and the article only deals with the former, so I think the title should be changed or the article should be globalized with additional contents .--Caspian blue (talk) 14:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
Relationship between Dunce Cap , Schultüte and Golden hat? edit
Is there any research or other evidence that might suggest a cultural, traditional or functional relationship between Schultüte, Dunce cap and the Golden Hat? Celcom (talk) 12:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)Celcom
witch connection? edit
Has anyone realized that the Berlin Gold Hat bears a strong resemblance to the stereotypical Witch hat?--Auric (talk) 16:28, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
