The World's Oldest Known Wooden Statue Is Over 7,000 Years Older Than Stonehenge
This wooden figurative statue with a number of mask-like faces was carved thousands of years ago, and preserved for millennia in the acidic, antimicrobial environment of the Shigir peat bog in the Ural Mountains in Russia. The idol was first discovered in 1890 and regarded as a curiosity, a totem pole-like carving from an earlier age. A team of scientists conducted a new analysis, using a sample extracted from the artifact's more pristine core, and found that it was closer to 11,600 years old.
