EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Ancient Portrait: A Glimpse into Prehistory through the Wooden Idol of Pohjankuru, Finland" This photograph showcases the oldest known portrait of an inhabitant of Finland, the wooden idol from Pohjankuru. Dated back to approximately 3000 BC, this prehistoric figure is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Southern Finland during the Neolithic period. Housed at the National Museum of Finland in Helsinki, this organic masterpiece is a significant discovery in European prehistory. The wooden idol, with its intricately carved features, is believed to represent a human figure, offering a unique window into the lives of our ancient ancestors. The organic material, weathered by time, reveals the passage of centuries, adding to its allure and historical significance. The idol's creation during the Neolithic period, a time marked by the transition from a hunter-gatherer society to one that focused on agriculture and animal husbandry, highlights the evolution of human artistic expression and spiritual beliefs. This discovery underscores the importance of preserving and studying our prehistoric past, providing valuable insights into the origins and development of human civilization. As we gaze upon this ancient portrait, we are reminded of the enduring human desire to create, to express, and to connect with the world around us. The wooden idol of Pohjankuru stands as a testament to our shared history, bridging the gap between the past and the present.
