Ancient Statuette of Unknown Material

In ancient times, the Sumerians and Egyptians believed that science and wisdom had come to them from the Armenian Highlands.

The mysteries faced by historians, who conduct their own research in Armenia, are sometimes unresolvable even with the help of modern technologies.

So, back in the seventies of the last century, archeologists discovered a statuette of a bird made of material previously unknown to scientists on the territory of Eastern Armenia. It is more than three thousand years old. The material cannot be damaged by any modern instrument.
