(FOX NEWS) – A strange alien-like clay head dating back
thousands of years has been retrieved from an excavation
in Kuwait, stumping archaeologists about how it came to
be.
In a Nov. 28 press release published by the University of
Warsaw, the school explained that researchers from the
Kuwaiti-Polish Archaeological Mission found the artifact
in Bahra 1, an archaeological site in the Subiya region of
Kuwait.
The press release called the artifact "one of the most
remarkable" discoveries of the excavation.
The figurine dates back to the Ubaid period of ancient
Mesopotamia, which predated the Bronze Age.
Archaeologists estimate that the artifact was crafted
during the 6th millennium BCE, making it between 7,000
and 8,000 years old.
