The Shigir Idol is about 12,000 years old, making it the oldest known wooden sculpture. Found in a peat bog on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, the prehistoric idol is covered in geometric patterns, among which human-like faces are scattered. A head with an uneasy expression tops the sculpture. The meaning of the carved symbols remains a mystery. Is it possible that these patterns tell a story of climate change and survival?
