It's haunting.

Who is he?

That carved head though, I can't get over it...

Would being buried for like 2000 years really cause it to get that beat up?? Looks like he got bashed against cliffs and shit for like hundreds of years.

But I'm gonna tell you what... the faint face I can still make out on it, this wasn't traditional Egyptian looking style.

that piece was assaulted with a combination of blunt and pointed instruments, assuming it was ever a finished piece. there are loads of relics that bear similar damage. being buried ain't gonna do that, unless it's in a gravel pit that's being jumbled around like a chuck-e-cheese ball pit. even then it would round off edges, not leave them.

it is a classic european style head, greco-roman/anglo type.
