The Oldest Human Image...The Acheulian Goddess...1/4 m years plus

The Oldest Human Image

Truly to absorb this discovery brings an in-dept feeling of continuity in intrigue... The Great Mother, most ancient goddess, shaped from rock by our ancestors 1/4 million to 3/4 million years ago...give or take half a million years. LOL close enough for me.

Until the past few decades, the famous Willendorf Goddess, carved of bone 30,000 years ago, was held to be the earliest human-crafted work of art and veneration. 

And now, in my lifetime, The Acheulian Goddess predates Willendorf by an amazing quarter-million years, and may be as old as 800,000 years! Okay, poppa and momma would have loved this! Momma would have posted it immediately and Poppa would be sharing it with his buddies at the coffee  shop.

It is remarkable to note the similarities between the Willendorf and the far older Acheulian. 

Both figures are: 
distinctly female, 

great-breasted with 

featureless head and 

discrete limbs

Vulva line 

Using flint tools, the maker of the Acheulian Goddess intentionally adapted an existing small stone, which already had breast-like Mother Goddess features, by adding incised grooves delineating the head and arms. Like Willendorf, the Acheulian appears to have a groove suggestive of the sacred vulva.

250,000 years into hunter gatherer antiquity: Image this...This Paleolithic image offers breathtaking evidence that our worship of the divine feminine could have extended up to 250,000 years deeper into hunter-gatherer antiquity than previously suspected! In the face of this discovery, 3,500 years of current patriarchy pales in significance. 

ASTOUNDING:

Clearly the old, ecology-centered goddess values have been with us for much longer. 

Sacred Source is proud to have brought forth this reproduction, which is based on drawings and photographs from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's Institute of Archeology, where the original is housed. 

This ad for buying a reproduction is worthy and I think I will...

She is an amazing artifact of our pre-history that you can hold in the palm of your hand...okay I would call this REAL HISTORY recorded in a precious stone piece.
