According to the latest analyses, what you see in the photo is 13,500 years old. The dating was carried out by Professor Thomas Terberger of the Department of Cultural Heritage in Lower Saxony, Germany, and was determined using a new dating method: accelerator mass spectrometry. This artifact is therefore older than Stonehenge, and perhaps older than part of Göbekli Tepe. It was discovered about 100 km from Yekaterinburg.

What we see in the photo is only the head. The entire statue must have been about 5.3 meters long. The head fairly faithfully depicts a face with eyes, a nose, and a mouth: the visual effect of this face, with its wide-open mouth, seems to echo Aztec iconography. But the artifact was found near Siberia. This resemblance is further evidence that the peoples of Central and South America are partly of Siberian origin (with the remainder originating from Sundaland).
…
A 5.3-meter statue created 13,500 years ago forces us to turn back the clock of archaeology by several millennia. Humans were producing “megalithic” works of art at least 7,500 years before the “appearance of writing,” according to official history. Such a temporal discrepancy becomes truly difficult to sustain.

In the green heart of the Boyne Valley in County Meath stands a monument older than the pyramids of Egypt and older than Stonehenge, the great passage tomb of Newgrange. Built more than five thousand years ago by a farming people whose names are lost to us, it is a vast mound of earth and stone ringed by great carved kerbstones and faced with a wall of gleaming white quartz.

What makes Newgrange one of the wonders of the ancient world is not only its age but its astonishing precision. For a few mornings around the winter solstice, as the sun rises, a narrow beam of light passes through a stone box above the entrance and creeps slowly down the long inner passage until it floods the burial chamber deep within the mound with golden light. The people who built it understood the movement of the sun with a care that still amazes.

That such a thing was raised by hand, with stone tools, by a society we usually imagine as simple, overturns every easy assumption about our distant ancestors. The triple spiral carved on the great entrance stone has become one of the most recognised symbols of ancient Ireland. To stand before Newgrange is to feel the deep reach of the island's story.

A remarkable discovery at the ancient city of Hippos-Sussita in Israel has revealed a rare connection to the religious world of the Roman era.

Archaeologists uncovered a massive bronze mask of Pan, the Greek god associated with nature, shepherds, wilderness, and music.

Dating back to the 1st or 2nd century CE, the artifact is extraordinary not only because of its age but also because of its size and craftsmanship. Weighing more than 11 pounds, the mask features carefully crafted details including small horns, pointed ears, and the distinctive beard of the half-man, half-goat deity.

Unlike smaller decorative masks commonly found in the ancient world, this large bronze piece is exceptionally rare.

The mask was discovered outside the city walls of Hippos-Sussita, leading researchers to suggest it may have been connected to a roadside shrine or sacred altar where people performed rituals honoring Pan and other nature-related deities.

In ancient Greek and Roman traditions, Pan represented the untamed landscapes beyond cities, where shepherds, travelers, and rural communities sought protection and blessings.

The discovery offers a glimpse into the beliefs of people who lived nearly two thousand years ago, showing how mythology, religion, and daily life were deeply connected.

A forgotten bronze face buried beneath the earth survived centuries to tell the story of ancient worship.

A single artifact revealed the presence of a god once honored along the roads of the Roman world.

The colossal polygonal walls of Sacsayhuamán remain one of archaeology's greatest enigmas. Built from enormous stone blocks weighing up to 100 tons, each was shaped with extraordinary precision and fitted so perfectly—without mortar—that many joints remain razor-thin after centuries of powerful earthquakes. How ancient builders quarried, transported, and assembled these massive stones with such remarkable accuracy continues to inspire debate, making Sacsayhuamán one of the world's most mysterious feats of ancient engineering...

The Spider geoglyph, one of the iconic Nazca Lines on the arid coastal plain of Peru, was created by the Nazca culture between approximately 500 BCE and 500 CE by removing the dark, oxidized surface stones to expose the lighter ground beneath, forming a remarkably precise figure that has remained preserved for centuries in the region's dry desert climate...

This Navajo petroglyph in Largo Canyon, New Mexico, is believed to depict Ghanaskadi, a horned deity associated with the renewal of the earth, harvest, and seeds, carrying a pack thought to contain seeds and life-giving mist, while the large spiral beside the figure—carved during the Ancestral Puebloan to Navajo periods (approximately 1000–1800 CE)—is a common motif in Southwest rock art that is sometimes interpreted as an astronomical marker or symbolic representation of the sun...
