In 1908, a worker found a 'faceless' stone woman in the mud and it rewrote the history of the Ice Age

A significant ancient artifact, the Venus of Willendorf, was unearthed in Austria in 1908. This small statue, made from stone transported over 450 miles, challenges previous beliefs about Ice Age societies. New research shows its composition matches rock from Italy. The figurine's unique features and origin highlight the advanced skills and extensive travel of Gravettian hunters and gatherers.
