2,000 Ancient Figurines Unearthed on Greek Island

In a major archaeological discovery, over 2,000 ancient figurines have been unearthed on the Greek island of Keros. The find has been described as one of the most important Aegean archaeological sites of the last decades. The figures all date to between 2,500 and 2,000 BC, making them the earliest known representations of humans in the Aegean Sea region. The figurines were discovered in a field in the center of the easternmost part of the Greek island, which until recently was one of the least explored archaeological sites in the area. The amazing collection of figurines was made up of over 2,000 male and female figures, as well as animals and plants. These items were made out of marble, terracotta, and bronze and were all found in the same location, which archaeologists have concluded was an ancient cemetery. The figures all bear striking similarities, likely indicating they were created by the same group of people.

The fact that they were found in the same location and at the same time points to the fact that they may have been part of a larger ritualistic practice. This discovery has shed new light on the history of the Aegean Sea and the islands scattered around it. It has given archaeologists insight into the beliefs, customs and practices of people who lived in this region centuries ago. The archaeological dig is one of the first of its kind in this region and it will help researchers to better understand the culture of the ancient people who lived in this part of the world. This find is a reminder of the rich and vibrant history that lies beneath the surface of the Mediterranean – a region that has birthed some of the most famous civilizations in history. By uncovering these figurines, archaeologists have opened a door to a past that has been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years.
