wolfie Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 No, I have tried and tried and tried again. It still looks like a lump of rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 well i've shown it to many people without giving them any information or a hint as to what to look for and almost everyone who has seen it immediately pointed out the face and features. Whilst i admit to having a trained eye for such things, it is much clearer when seen in real life !! There are many carved details that need close inspection including a rope twised around a wooden steak and the neck of the poor victim. But even the hairstyle is typical of the Bronze Age/Iron Age. Can Anyone else make out the features ?? watch the film and let me know if you can make it out .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Indy. Yes I can clearly see the face. Before you made your second post, I did wonder what made you think it was a ritual sacrifice. Your second post explains that though. Could I ask where the find was? Without being too specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 A wooden steak? I bet that kept the ancient dentists in work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only made the stone carving in May 09 then it is only 2 months old so why on earth would it need cleaning and preserving? Who descovered it... maybe you should tell them it's not very old Must admit it has a scarey little face which is quite obvious... have no sound on my PC at the moment so I only saw the images and didn't hear the real tale behind it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Very funny Dismayed !!! it could date back as far as 2000bc and yes i discovered it cheeky .....

Wingnut Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thanks for that Indy. Apologies for going off topic, but do you know of any battles that were fought near Kingsway Bridge? A friend of mine once found a sword when he was building an underground hut as a child. I lost contact with him many years ago, so unfortunately I can't give any more information as to what the sword looked like. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure it was a Cromwellian type sword that he described to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 A sword ? wow!!!! Cromwellian sounds about right. The two bridges in Warrington, one at Bridge foot and one at Kingsway were vital during the Civil War and especially during the seiges of 1644 & 1645.

Wingnut Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks again Indy. I have often thought, that there must be plenty of finds to come across yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 When i filmed my Time Team programme in 2006 i spoke with Dr Francis Pryor who believes that we have found less than 5% of all the evidence left behind by our ancestors.
