3,800-year old 'thinking' statue discovered in Israel
Israeli archaeologists and school students discovered a 3,800-year-old pottery jug, featuring a person's statue with knees bent and head rested on his hand, as if "in a state of reflection". The jug, dating to the Middle Bronze Age, was found broken and restored by archaeologists. "Such a unique pottery vessel has never before been discovered in Israel," said an archaeologist.
