Did they even know about Venus back then?
Did they even know to call the planet they observed ‘Venus”?
Did they know that they were looking at a planet?

“Venus” figure indeed.....=.=

I don’t know but the white figurine looks more like a penis than a Venus to me.

That's some original symbol......X marks the spot.

Just think in a few thousand years, some aspiring archaeologist will dig and find


in a Late Meso-American site named Bur Bank and hypothesize what went wrong with the once thriving culture.

Could’ve come from anywhere. Could’ve fallen out of Byron’s pants when he swam the Hellespont.

I have on my bookshelf a 5,000 year old statue of the goddess Artemis (5,000 is just an estimate - statue hasn’t been carbon dated.) I bought it from a Turk for five bucks in the environs of excavated Ephesus. I was able to smuggle it out of Turkey unchallenged by the antiquities police.
