      I bet those masks were painted, tho. So think of them with like SpongeBob colors on them or something.

        I believe they were dated by the archeological context in which they were found, ie that they were found as part of a neolithic era site.

    I can’t be the only person who sees those and thinks “Christ those would be uncomfortable.”

      I can only assume they were held in front and not actually worn. I hope.

    One of these surely caught someone’s tongue while they were trying to do a cool voice - bridging nine thousand years to dirt cheap Ninja Turtles masks.
