Shigir Idol: A Mysterious Ancient Artifact
🔻Shigir Idol was discovered in a peat bog in Kirovgrad, Siberia in 1890, 135 years ago.
🔻At first perfectly-preserved wooden statue was thought to be 9,500 years old. However, analysis suggests the idol is approximately 12,500 years old, dating back to the Mesolithic era.
🔻Idol is covered in mysterious carvings which have yet to be deciphered, but could depict snakes, danger and even spirits in different worlds.
🔻This means the remarkable Shigir Idol, which is covered in ‘encrypted code’ and may be a message from ancient man, is by far the oldest wooden sculpture in the world.
🔻By comparison, Stonehenge dates back 4,614 years, while the haunting Russian wooden sculpture is also more than twice as old as the Egyptian pyramids!
