When I showed this to my husband who worked building planes at Boeing for 15 years, he immediately said it looked like part of a landing gear.

Just in case anyone is confused about the recently drilled hole here is a close up of it

Why in the world would someone take the time to drill holes in a piece like that? First of all none of us really know what it was or what it was used for, so it seems very impratical for someone to just drill holes in something like that. It may have simply been the way the piece of metal was laid in the ground that accounted for the pitting on the top surface vs the side holes.

for a 'pin' to go through it, there are previous posts in this thread explaining that.

My point is that nobody would have reason to find such an artifact and then take the time to drill two holes in it. These holes were there when the object was manufactured.

Ceausescu was a megalomaniac that probably would love to see his nation to be the birth ground of European civilization and there are plenty of examples of "artifacts" that are found presented as real that are meant to glorify the finder or a some other cause.
Nevertheless it is a very interesting artifact and would love other researchers to provide more evidence of it's claimed age.

I tend to agree that he's a nationalist. I made a note to myself to look into this (the aluminum artifact is not something that looks credible) -- there certainly were towns and villages in the area (perhaps cities... I don't know) and there may even have been frequently used symbols (Native American rock art uses symbols unique to each tribe and area as well as some more general ones.)
I want to have a more thorough look at this. To my (biased) mind, the objects look modern with badly done 'artificial aging' -- BUT -- I don't know much about this area or this dig and before I make up my mind, I want some additional information.

Just further proof that Scientist have been guessing for years.
Obviously, a civilazation was here that we have no concept of how they lived.
I find it kind of funny, we think we have a clue about our past.
Yet we are stumped by every single new find...
