A wooden statue discovered in a peat bog in Siberia has been dated back 11,000 years.
He predicted that as a result of the latest tests, the Idol ‘will get a huge recognition in the world and will show that the centre of cultural development in Eurasia was not only the Middle East but also in the Urals’.
Russian experts have described the findings as ‘sensational’. They show that the Idol – covered in an ‘encrypted code’ which academics say maybe a coded message from ancient man – is the oldest of its kind in the world.
During the research it was discovered the Idol had eight faces, one more than previously understood. Only one is three dimensional. The wooden masterpiece was originally dug from the Urals’ peat bog in 1890. The bog has preserved it ‘like a time capsule’.
