Talk:Sampo

message: This article had earlier linked the phrase "magical artifact" to Artifact (fantasy). This was changed by WeniWidiWiki to Artifact (archaeology). I reverted this because I believed artifacts from mythology (or religion, for that matter) that haven't been proven to exist shouldn't be considered archaeological items. After a brief discussion with WeniWidiWiki, I reverted my own reversion because (A) the "fantasy" article is about fantasy gaming, which is not at all relevant; and (B) the "archaeology" article says nothing about proving that such an artifact exists, only that it was human-made. Although the Sampo's creator, Ilmarinen, is an immortal, I will concede the point unless and until we come up with an article on religious-mythological artifacts, at which point I would agree with WeniWidiWiki's suggestion (based on my edit, not necessarily his/her own view) that Ark of the Covenant, the True Cross and the Holy Grail also point to this new article. (The last three are actually human-crafted, but I still think they could be more usefully grouped into this new classification with Sampo.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:29, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm from Finland and I can't remember "a brand of diverse products", I can only remember a bank.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seko (talk • contribs) 17:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A brand of diverse products? 

message: Uncited, moving here to Talk for now:
"In the Warner Brothers cartoon What's Opera, Doc?, Elmer Fudd sings, "Yes, magic helmet. And I'll give you a Sampo", mispronouncing "sample" but smiling knowingly at the camera to reveal the inside joke."
- I am skeptical that this was knowingly intended as a reference to the Sampo. Can we cite this? -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 00:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This is Lönroths creation. The original mythos do not contain description what Sampo actually it. I did not put this to the article, because I found no reference about this. --JK  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.184.83.230 (talk) 10:58, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sampo = Cornucopia  

message: Whether it's a talisman or cornucopia or whatever doesn't actually matter. It's a desirable object that provides motivation for characters to take action. A McGuffin.
