Reinterpreting the 'sceptres' from the Maikop Kurgan.

Dear Sir, I recently read an article in "Antiquity", wherein it was concluded, by experts that were funded by a grant from your organization, hollow tubes found in buriel sites were used for communal beer drinking. I suggest they were not. I am suggesting the discovery of these hollow tubes , discovered in 1897, by Professor Nikolai Veselovsky of St Petersburg University were far more important than ornately decorated drinking straws. I strongly believe their discovery points to advancements in animal husbandry that are difficult to replicate even today. I believe these hollow tubes were used to artificially inseminate livestock. Animal husbandry was a mainstay of the area of discovery during that era. Egg yolks have been used successfully to reserve bull semen for up to 3 or 4 days when handled properly. This discovery is scientifically significant for any number of reasons. It is in your hands. I am certain the tubes found were not for drinking alcohol. They were placed at the right hands of the most important leaders of that time, the animal breeders and veterinarians. It is a very important scientific discovery that needs worldwide attention if I am right. What did they know 5,500 years ago that we don't know now? We should explore this further. Kindest of all possible Regards.
