Who Likes Ancient Artifacts?

The Nampa Figurine.

On August 1st 1889, workers led by M.A. Kurtz and his partners, were drilling an artesian water
well in Nampa, Idaho.
After 300 feet of drilling, it's stated that Mr. Kurtz was checking the sand pump (used for taking
solid matter from a borehole) and during his examination of the wet-clay material, discovered
a inch-and-a-half long object that became known as the Nampa Figurine.

After washing the doll-like figure, Kurtz saw that it was artificial and not of natural making, the
overall view of the object implied a female form and suspecting that it had value, discussed the
find with an aquaintance Charles F. Adams the President of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Mr. Adams, the great-grandson of United States President John Adams, and the grandson
of president John Quincy Adams was passing through Idaho at that time.

Through this meeting, the Nampa figurine was examined by George Frederick Wright, a Christian
geologist who defended Darwinism. Wright also travelled to Idaho and examined the borehole for
evidence of chicanery or misplacement due to the drilling.

He later announced that the object was genuine and the depth that the figure originally resided
implied it must have been around two million years old, a finding that went against his ideas of
evolution. It's agreed this form of artistry only belonged in the Paleolithic period of European
man, a time of 20 to 30,000 years ago.

Can a fairly-modern manufactured object just somehow find it's way down through a 15 foot-layer
of basalt and then descend to the 300 feet level, to be seen an artifact that disrupts what we've
accepted as a standard timeline?
At the time of this writing, this mystery is still ongoing.

The Nampa Figurine is now stored at the Idaho State Historical Society in Boise, Idaho.

The Shroud of Turin.

There's a stained sheet of linen that measures almost fifteen feet-long and nearly five foot-wide
and resides in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, northern Italy.

When inspecting the cloth, one can see the faint sepia-coloured outline and marks of a human
who seems to have endured the terrible injuries of the crucifixion ascribed to Jesus of Nazareth,
who's death shroud it's said to be.

Though the shroud is taken to actually originate from the time that Jesus was alive, radiocarbon
testing done on a segment of the cloth dated this religious artifact to be from the middle ages.

But with holes in the wrists -a method of cricifixion generally not known and the marks of what
seems to be a crown of thorns around the forehead of the image, the Shroud of Turin was for
centuries, taken as Jesus' final apparel.

The arguement still rages today of whether the length of cloth is authentic and even the Vatican
have never endorsed or rejected whether it once covered the dead -or dying Son of God.

How the details of a face, whip-lacerated body and presumed pools of blood were produced
onto the shroud is also a topic of debate.

Is it him...? We just don't know yet.
