A press release published Monday detailed the discovery of a "mysterious" 4000-year-old monolith in Cyprus.
The Erimi Archaeological Team at the University of Siena described the large monolith as having a "circular motif of cups in the center," which "tells the story of a distant era of an artisan community in Cyprus." It stands roughly 7.55 feet tall and is part of a sprawling Bronze Age community complex, according to Ancient Origins.
The site has also revealed dyeing vats, warehouses and workshops, suggesting it was the site of a significant textile industry. The monolith was uncovered inside a room in the western wing of the complex.

Chipped, ground, carved or polished. We’ve always had this thing for stone. It also serves as a good replacement for brains.

If it dates back to c. 2000 B.C., then it predates the arrival of Greek-speakers on Cyprus in the Late Bronze Age, so the human sacrifice can be investigated objectively (since it would not have been done by Greeks).
