Archaeology

[edit | edit source]

In November 2025, archaeologists uncovered two Neolithic human-face reliefs carved on limestone blocks of a platform structure, estimated to be around 10,000 years old. One relief is executed in high relief with detailed facial features, while the second is carved in low relief with more stylized characteristics; both are oriented northward.[3][4]
