This is know as the Shigir Idol

“A mysterious wooden idol found in a Russian peat bog has been dated to 11,000 years ago - and contains a code no one can decipher. 

The Shigir Idol is twice as old as the Pyramids and Stonehenge - and is by far the oldest wooden structure in the world. Even more mysteriously, it is covered in what experts describe as ‘encrypted code’ - a message from a lost civilisation. Professor Mikhail Zhilin of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Archeology said: ‘The ornament is covered with nothing but encrypted information. People were passing on knowledge with the help of the Idol.’ Russian experts think that the strange carvings may contain a belief system, the equivalent of the Bible’s Genesis. The statue had been dated as being 9,500 years old, after its discovery in a peat bog 125 years ago. But new research in Mannheim, Germany used Accelerated Mass Spectrometry n small fragments of the sculpture, and found it is at least 11,000 years old. That means the sculpture dates from the very beginning of the Holocene epoch - the era when man rose to dominate the world.’

Con is over and I’m finally back at home recuperating. Sorting through photos was a good way to keep myself occupied in line, but I’ve still got a few hundred more shots to weed through. So far my ECCC folder has about a thousand images in it so this may be a little while.

Photos to be posted include… Tyler Hoechlin Amanda Tapping Jewel Staite Marina Sirtis Anthony Mackie Clark Gregg Orlando Jones

…along with a few shots of our fantastic moderators for the weekend, Grant Imahara and Clare Kramer throughout these sets.

I’ll be putting everything up on flickr first, but will also be posting selected ones here, so keep an eye out!
