It is displayed in the in Yekaterinburg, Russia. == Discovery == The idol was discovered on January 24, 1894 at a depth of in the peat bog of Shigir, on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, approximately from Yekaterinburg. Investigations in this area had begun 40 years earlier after the discovery of a variety of prehistoric objects in an open-air gold mine. It was extracted in several parts; professor D. I. Lobanov combined the main fragments to reconstitute a sculpture high. In 1914, archaeologist proposed a variant of this reconstruction by integrating the unused fragments. The reconstruction suggested that the original height of the statue was 5.3 metres.〔http://siberiantimes.com/science/casestudy/features/is-this-the-worlds-oldest-secret-code/〕 Some of these fragments were later lost, so only Tolmachev's drawings of them remain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shigir Idol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
