Mysterious Ancient Shaman Of Newark

MessageToEagle.com – Who was this mysterious odd-looking ancient creature? Was he an ancestor, a god, an actor, a myth, a legend or a fantasy?

Whoever he was, he certainly does not resemble an ordinary human. The “Shaman of Newark” is a small stone sculpture of a human wearing a bear’s head and bear paws.

This enigmatic ancient figure was unearthed in February this year, while workers excavating a site for a fiber-optic box in the village of Newtown in Hamilton County uncovered a remarkable artifact associated with an ancient American Indian burial.

Supernatural beings appear in the art of all cultures.

In fact, the oldest known figurative sculpture in the world is a 40,000-year-old mammoth ivory carving of what appears to be a human with a lion’s head. It was excavated from a cave in Germany.

A similar ancient figure was discovered back in 1881 by workers digging a foundation in Newark. It was a human/animal combination from the remnants of a 2,000-year-old mound.
