[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] 26000y old humans with saws. Stone age humans with saws.....yep. Fake. Quote: The[b] bottom had been sawed horizontally at about the shoulder line.[/b] Marshack had seen fine-toothed blades from the Dolni Vestonice collection that might, when hafted, have been used to saw ivory in this way. "Photo and text: National Geographic October 1988, photo by Alexander Marshack In July 2008 I received this very interesting communication from Danylo Derkacz (a pseudonym): I am a retired neuropathologist and part time forensic pathologist who has dissected and examined microscopically about 1 200 human heads and brains. 1) [b]the ivory head is carved by someone with training and talent.[/b] 2) the head makes no sense physiologically, genetically, medically or culturally. a) medically it represents the head of a microcephalic individual who even with today's medical and social care [b]would not survive puberty.[/b] b) the supraorbital ridges are those of a Neandertal but the head lacks the prognathia and recessed mentum (chin) of a Neandertal and has it protruding like that of H. sapiens sapiens. c)[b] the upturned nose is typical of a modern Slovyan (Slav) who at the time of discovery were considered as stupid peasants.[/b] 3) neither today nor then would any artist produce a labor intensive sculpture of a village idiot with microcephaly. 4) the nose of the ivory figure is so exaggerated that is better interpreted as that of a tertiary syphilitic which was then common in the pre-penicillin era and pre sulfonamides era. [b]In summary:[/b] I think it is a [b]half of the 20th century fake [/b]and caricature of the fashionable (at that time) concept of Neandertals admixed with westerners as an expression of disrespect for Slavs. " ===================================== Originally posted by xyyman: [qb] Source..?

I must admit, this was sloppy work because there are some mixed feelings about the authenticity of this artifact. Here is an article that touches on the authenticity of the sculpture and other relics. Source: https://www.donsmaps.com/hoax.html My bad! [/QB][/QUOTE]
