A creepy prehistoric doll with almond-shaped eyes has been unearthed in Siberia.
Another plaything, a mythical dragon-like animal head, made from antler or horn, was found alongside the artefact in the Bronze Age grave of a small child.
The finds have been added to what has been described as 'the oldest toy collection in the world' following a series of 4,500-year-old discoveries in the remote Khakassia region.
The toy, which is made of soapstone, is believed to be the oldest doll designed for play ever found.

The top one looks like a ‘Grey’. The second looks like it might be a dinosaur.

No, it’s not just you. I had problems with everything you had. My theory is that the writer is an idiot and knows nothing of archeology. Why they use idiots I haven’t the faintest idea. It doesn’t give a good feel for the topic they’re discussing.

Looks like one of the “grays” to me, but Georgio would know for sure.

10,000 years from now, someone will dig up a Batman action figure and wonder what it meant to us.

Ah, Bettany Hughes, who is most famous for her low cut tops in her TV shows.

It appears to have been published in 1985, and reviews say it’s a little dated now; but it sounds like fun.

No, actually 1979.
But it makes us think about our assumptions.
