A unique statuette of a bison and two female figurines carved from the mammoth tusk of the Upper Paleolithic era were found by archaeologists near Zaraisk, 150 km from Moscow
They were removed from the ground by employees of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Khizri Amirkhanov and Sergei Lev. Scientists believe that these are the most ancient magic dolls. Almost in the same way as the current sorcerers of the Voodoo cult, our ancient ancestors in the land near Moscow pricked a figurine of a bison in order to send death to it and make the hunt successful. And the figures of women were rubbed with lard so that real women were more fertile and childbirth was easier …
“Our expedition began to excavate the archaeological monument“Zaraiskaya parking”in 1995,” says Khizri Amirkhanov, Doctor of Historical Sciences. - We work there without interruption and will research it for another 5 years. "Zaraiskaya site" is the remains of a settlement of hunters for large mammals: mammoths, bison. We found the ruins of dugouts, hearths, pantries, food storage and utensils, more than 100,000 stone tools, tools made from animal bones, from mammoth ivory.
A unique find is a figurine of a bison - one of the most perfect works of this kind for primitive art. The bison is carved from the tusk of a mammoth, this is a figurine perfect in terms of naturalism and beauty!
