It doesn't really seem like a joke, but mentions the possibility that it is one that they don't understand.
Basically it's a bone with an inscription on it that can either mean "goat's bone" or "weather bone" and the writer is suggesting in context they don't really know what it means, because it might not actually be a goat's bone, and why is it labeled as such in the first place?
- mzs 5y agoThank you very much! Was a weather bone from an animal sacrifice for good weather?
- ksaj 5y agoThat's a good hunch, and pretty much why they don't really know (yet). There isn't any context to go by. It will be interesting to see once they're done the analysis if it was even goat. If not, your solution would possibly be next in line. If not a sacrifice, the bone could be used in a type of forecasting spell, like tossing it and reading which way it points, etc. I have a feeling instead of "joke" they mean "riddle," since that seems more like what they have on their hands.
