Pagan God From Bronze Age Caught By Unsuspecting Fisherman In Siberia

Nikolay Tarasov was fishing in a river near his home in Tisul, in the Kemerovo region of Siberia, when he caught something unexpected- and very old.

"Me and a friend were walking on the river bank with nets, when suddenly it got stuck with something," he said. "I found the object, freed the net and was about to throw it back in the water - but at the last second I looked at it more closely," he told The Siberian Times. "And I saw a face. I stopped and washed the thing in the river - and realized it wasn't a stone of an unusual shape, as I thought earlier - but a statuette."

3. What a great find

It makes me wonder how many other artifacts are out there waiting to be discovered. And I'm talking about much more recent stuff - say just 2000 years old

And by the way, I think this group is the best place to post things like this.

4. The James ossuary

is again under consideration as the possible bone box of Jesus's brother of that name. It's been established that the disputed "brother of Jesus" portion of its inscription is in fact ancient, not a modern forgery. So this may be the first inscrptional evidence for Jesus as an historical figure.
