![5,000-year-old Venus figure found in Çanakkale
“Venus” is probably too strong a name for something from the Bronze Age, and the photo in the article isn’t much help, but file this under “For What It’s Worth” for the moment…
“A 5,000-year-old Venus figure has been found as part of an excavation being carried out in Çanakkale’s Ezine district.
“Some interesting findings have been unearthed during the excavation, [Assistant Professor] Aslan said. ‘We found a 5,000-year-old Venus figure, which used to represent woman at the time, as well as a seal with which people used to mark their belongings in prehistoric ages.’”](http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqjiie7E0P1qzn6kno1_250.jpg)
