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 …
