This is know as the Shigir Idol

“A mysterious wooden idol found in a Russian peat bog has been dated to 11,000 years ago - and contains a code no one can decipher. 

The Shigir Idol is twice as old as the Pyramids and Stonehenge - and is by far the oldest wooden structure in the world.

Even more mysteriously, it is covered in what experts describe as ‘encrypted code’ - a message from a lost civilisation.

Professor Mikhail Zhilin of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Archeology said: ‘The ornament is covered with nothing but encrypted information. People were passing on knowledge with the help of the Idol.’

Russian experts think that the strange carvings may contain a belief system, the equivalent of the Bible’s Genesis.

The statue had been dated as being 9,500 years old, after its discovery in a peat bog 125 years ago.

But new research in Mannheim, Germany used Accelerated Mass Spectrometry n small fragments of the sculpture, and found it is at least 11,000 years old.

That means the sculpture dates from the very beginning of the Holocene epoch - the era when man rose to dominate the world.’

“If we don’t know what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes” -archaeology

And also “if we don’t want to admit what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes”. You’d be amazed at the number of obvious dildos that are floating around in museum collections vaguely labelled as “fertility idols”.

(Note: being nine feet tall, the Shigur Idol is probably not a dildo.)

they could have been into that you don’t know their lives

“probably”

Someone 11,000 years ago was practicing carving faces and cool stripe designs, then threw the practice log away, and now we’re trying to decipher it.
