Talk:Shigir Idol

Age

The sculpture was made from a freshly-cut 157 year old larch

Untitled

if the statue is 9500+ years old... how would it be made from a freshly cut 157 year old larch? This is confusing and perhaps needs some word smithing. 208.252.24.66 (talk) 15:14, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Well I guess the larch in question was 157 years old when it was felled, and the carving was done when the wood was still fresh.. Alun (talk) 09:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

And this is..........the larch. The...larch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.252.183.253 (talk) 18:13, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Totem poles

Anthropologists suggest comparison with Tlingit totem poles of British Columbia

I'm struggling with the relevance of this. I'd like to see an authoritative anthropological source that claims cultural continuity over 9,000 years between North America and prehistoric Siberia. I am not convinced that many anthropologists would expect, or claim such long-standing continuity amongst geographically separated peoples.

Siberian migrations into North America, for which there are tribal DNA corollaries.

Also, I'm sceptical of the relevance of this sentence. What is the connection between the idol and these ancient migrations? What is the evidence for such a connection? Have similar ancient idols been found along the migratory route? I can't help thinking this is original research, can we have a reliable source that explicitly links the idol to ancient migrations and / or ancient DNA?

I heard tht Kalpa vigraha is way more older than this

Would you make a concern and search about that? 27.122.61.153 (talk) 11:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure what piece you are referring to, but no Hindu murti is anything like this old. Johnbod (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes you are absolutely right as the University of California found out that it is built around 26450 BCE which truns out to be around 28,000 years (28,472 years to be precise) and it's references are also found in the Hindu religious and sacred textbooks which confirm that it is Kapl Vigraha, deity of Lord Shiva and is 28,000 to 30,000 years old which takes Sanatan Dharm from being around 10,000 years old to around 30,000 years old!!!
