Default 8,300-Year-Old Stone Snake Heads Reveal Stone Age Ritual Ceremonies

8,300-Year-Old Stone Snake Heads Reveal Stone Age Ritual Ceremonies


What might be passed over as two oddly shaped rocks are the work of Stone Age artisans who sculpted the rocks into beady-eyed snake heads, archaeologists have found.

It’s a mystery why these ancient people, who lived in what is now Ukraine, created the stoney serpents, but the researchers have a good guess.

“These sculptures could have ritual purpose,” said study lead researcher Nadiia Kotova, an archaeologist in the Department of the Eneolithic and Bronze Age at the Institute of Archaeology National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of Ukraine. “They were probably used during ceremonies.”
